Forde more than convincingly demolished the field in the 5 000 metres Men’s race, that effectively climaxed the exciting, but poorly attended meet.

By the fifth lap, Forde lapped the three other top placers and did it again before he wrapped up the race in 15 minutes 55.9 seconds. One competitor was lapped three times in the process.

Three minutes later, Cleveland Thomas of Royal Youth Movement ran in second in 18:55.7 minutes, Davionan Daniels of Road Runner was third (19:09.9), Jimel Trotman of President’s College fourth (19:14.9).

Running in fifth was Carifta Games Under-17 selectee Ricky Kissoon for the 3 000-metre event, in 19:20.1 minutes. He was also the only entrant for the 3 000-metre Men’s event.

Forde set his mark in the second track event of the day, easily taking the 1500-metre Men’s in four minutes 19.7 seconds.

Karlis Kendall of Corentyne finished second in 4:26.1 minutes, Rodwell Downer (Corentyne) third (4:37.8) and Cleveland Thomas (Royal) fourth.

But it was Dick of NATC, who started the day hot, disposing of Chichester in the first track event of the day, the 1500-metre Women’s race, clocking five minutes 17.4 seconds. The Carifta Games 1500 and 3 000 selectee finished second in 5:18.2 seconds, Leanna Doris (Royal) third (5:18.6 minutes), and Ashanti Scott (Carifta Games Under-20 selectee for the 1500 event) fourth (5:32).

Then in the 3 000-metre Women’s race, Dick held on to Chichester who led the race. About 150 metres from the finish line, Dick pulled away, easily leaving Chichester behind. The bunch, about 30 metres behind, caught up with Chichester who had to summon all she had to eventually place third.

Leanna Doris (Royal) was second in 11:22.9 minutes, Chichester third (11:23.3) and Malika Morgan (Rising Star) fourth (11:23.6).

Under-17 Carifta Games selectee Dianne Munroe won both her events, the 100 metres Women’s in 12 seconds flat and the 200 metres in 26 seconds flat.

Rushell Coates (Royal) was second (12.4 seconds) in the 100 metres, Robyne Alleyne third and La Toya Roberts fourth, while Alleyne (Royal) was second in the 200 metes (26.5), Coates third and Nasi Bamfield fourth.

Serma Mentore, another Carifta Games selectee, was a clear winner in her event, the 400 metres Women’s in 1:02.9 minutes, with Brunetta Henry (Royal) second (1:03.4), Velisha Easton (Royal) third and Rondell Alleyne fourth.

National senior sprinter Keith Roberts (Royal) easily won the 100 metres Men’s dash in 10.4 seconds, with Carlton Babb (Atoms) running in second in 10.8 and Alex Gravesande (Royal) third (11.4).

Roberts returned to power from behind in capturing the 400 metres Men’s race in 54.1 seconds, followed by Delon Clarke (Corentyne) in 54.6 and Jermaine Johnson (Royal) in 55.0.

The 200 metres Men’s sprint went to Babb who clocked 23.3 seconds, with Trelon Garraway (Royal) coming in second (23.9) and Gravesande third (24.2).

Carlos Kendall (Corentyne) carted off the 800 metres Men’s race, finishing in two minutes 9.1 seconds, with Rodwell Downer (Under-17 Carifta Games selectee for the event) coming in second (2:09.3), David Young (Corentyne) third and Breshnev Smith fourth.

Under-17 Carifta Games selectee for the 800 metres event was the only entry and she ran with the Men, finishing in 2:30.5 minutes.

On the field, Under-20 Carifta Games selectee Royston Ross won the Men’s Discus with a 38.55-metre throw, with fellow selectee Cleon Washington placing second with 31.76 metres. Kaschta Otto (Royal) was third (25.7) and Ronald Payne (Under-17 Carifta Games selectee) fourth (25.0).

Ross and Washington were again one-two in Men’s Shot-put, with 12.25 and 12.21-metre throws respectively. Payne was third (10.16) and Wesley Tudor fourth.

The Men’s Javelin went to Alvaro Edwards (Royal) with a winning 46.0-metre throw, Otto second (43.53), Bruce Glen (Royal) third (37.62) and Delon Clarke (Royal) fourth (37.05). Payne was fifth (35.52).

On the distaff side, Neshia Bamfield was first (27.0) in Javelin, Erica Forte second (16.6) and Lisa Barrow third (12.9), all Royal athletes. Forte was the only one in the Shot-put and Discus.
