Lyssons Primary were crowned all-island champions after winning the Institute of Sports (INSPORTS) Devon Biscuits National Primary Schools Athletics Championship at the National Stadium on Saturday.

For their efforts, St Thomas-based Lyssons Primary walked away with $600,000 to add to the $350,000 they earned for winning the regional Eastern Championship earlier, taking their tally for this season to $950,000.

It was Lyssons’ third win in the last four years as they amassed 220 points and dethroned St Catherine’s Naggo Head, which finished second with 166 points. Naggo Head got $350,000.

Spanish Town Primary, which challenged Lyssons early in the Championship, faded to third spot with 149 points.

Half-Way Tree Primary was fourth with 102 points, while St Richard’s (81), Lawrence Tavern (71), Ascot (67), Corinaldi Avenue (65), Rousseau (52) and Windward Road (52) completed the top 10.

Kellan Harris of Angels Primary was the Overall MVP with 23 points. He won the Class One 100m, 200m and was second on the Class One 4x100m and 4x200m Open relay teams.

Gabrielle Marshall of Naggo Head, Kathlia Roberts of Lyssons and Arianna Lewis of Half-Way Tree were joint Female Champions with 21 points each.

Fabian Pantern of John Mills was the Male Field Event MVP with 11 points, finishing second in the long jump and fifth in the high jump.

Six records were broken over the three days of competition. Two were broken on Friday, courtesy of Dontae Williams of Jericho Primary in the Cricketball Open with a mark of 68.40, and the Corinaldi’s Class Four boys lowered their 4×100 mark to 58.15 seconds.

The promising Davere Walker of Lyssons smashed the boys’ long jump open record with a leap of 5.35m while Malaika Cherrington of Naggo Head did 4.93m in the girls’ section.

Naggo Head’s Jahmario Dawkins, running with a Kingston College armband, smashed the boys’ 800m open record, clocking 2:17.66 minutes, while Donelia Speed of Lyssons broke the Girls’ 800m Open, clocking 2:27.28.

Niesha Campbell of Ascot took the Girls’ Class One 200m in 26.56 ahead of Nasiya Oates of Howard Cooke Primary in 26.92.

In the race of the championship, Kellan Harris of Angels Primary completed the sprint double, capturing the Boys’ Class One 200m in 25.48 ahead of Ashumar Morrison of Ascot in 25.56. The 400m champion, Jayden Bailey of Spanish Town, was third with 25.91.

Harris and Bailey are said to be on their way to Kingston College, while Morrison will be at Jamaica College. This could be a rivalry for a very long time.
