Holmwood's big moment came in the 4x400m where star athlete Bobby-Gaye Wolkins lifted them to an unlikely victory. With Holmwood parading a team comprising a Class Three athlete, one from Class Two and two Class One athletes, favourites Edwin Allen High were expected to get the better of their archrivals. Bobby-Gaye Wilkins, in the race of her life, came from almost 30 metres behind to grab a famous win to bring the curtain down on the girls' side of the championships.

The 4x400m anchor leg run, unofficially timed at 50.8 seconds, by Wilkins was one of the quality performances at the meet. There were others worthy of note. Holmwood's Salcia Slack not only won the champion girl title, she set a national junior record in the heptathlon open. Her tally of 5411 points, beating the 5292 mark held since 1993 by Icolyn Kelly. Slack had earlier been among the records in Class One throwing the discus 45.13m to improve on the 44.40m set by Manchester High's Tanya Thomas ten years ago.

Adam Cummings, running in Class Three, also produced an excellent run in winning the 100m final in a record 10.91. He obliterated the 10.99 mark set in 2003 by Jamaica College's Winston Barnes.

It's a pity that St Jago did not maintain their cool in the Class One boys sprint relay final. It was generally felt that if both Calabar and St Jago had clashed on the last leg of the event the 39.78 record time that the latter set last Wednesday evening would have been lowered.
