“We will be crowning the Champion in each Age Group and also crowning the Champions of the Cross Country Series, continued Watson.
Several of the athletes competing will be athletes who have qualified in their respective age groups for the KPMG Front Street Mile event.
Watson went on to say, “Young athletes like Jade Johnson, Selah Tuzo, Ryan Outerbridge, Iziah Tucker, Lynsey Palmer, Messiah Greaves, Aaron Jacobs Of course some of our Carifta athletes Kyrah Scraders, Daniel Oatley and of course our adult runners Tamika Williams, Deon Breary, Trey Simons and Jay Donawa to name just a few.”
“The course has been marked out and I have been told that it is a very scenic route with all of the different age groups having to complete a different numbers of laps. Our championships are always a great competitive event with some surprises as all of the athletes put out their best so that they could become champion,” concluded Watson.
