Hillsborough, Carriacou, March 8th, 2010- The athletes of Bishop's College (BC) reigned supreme over the girls and boys of Hillsborough Secondary School (HSS) in the 2010 Carriacou Inter-secondary Sports Meet.

It was the first inter-secondary games in Carriacou in five years, following a controversy at the 2005 meet.

Hillsborough Secondary – winners of the march pass – lost the overall championship title to Bishop’s College, which amassed a total games’ score of 516 points. HSS trailed with 471 points.

Dressed in red and white and well supported by teachers, parents and past students, Bishop's College athletes took first position in a number of races, including the 200 meters junior boys’ race and the 200 meters senior boys’ race.

Javid Allen and Cudlyn Joseph were among the outstanding athletes at the games, which saw a number of records broken. Allen, a BC student, set a new record in the 200 meters sub-junior boys’ race. He ran in a time of 25.15 seconds, compared to the old mark of 25.51 clocked in 1998 by Curtis Clouden.

Joseph, who also represented Bishop's College, outpaced all competitors in the 200 meters junior girls’ race. She established a new record of 26.91 seconds. The old record was 28.20 seconds posted in 1999 by HSS athlete, Emma Gay.

Other outstanding athletes were Bishop’s College Sasha McKay, Deon Compton and Tyler Stafford; and Keon John and Joylyn Enoe of Hillsborough Secondary. The Victrix Ludorum was HSS Karitha Roseman and Victor Ludorum was Theo Bedeau of Bishop's College.

The meet, held at the Lauriston mini-stadium, was supported by the Ministry of Carriacou and Petite Martinique Affairs, with backing from several corporate sponsors. Among them were telecommunications’ company, LIME, Gleneg, the Grenada Bottling Company and George F. Huggins.

The top Carriacou athletes are now preparing for the national INTERCOL track and field championship that will be held in Grenada later this month.
