Jn Baptiste House delivered a commanding performance at the Laborie RC Girls’ Primary School track championships held Tuesday at Phillip Marcellin Ground, establishing an insurmountable lead that left other houses competing for secondary positions. According to school principal Donna Peter-Joseph, the athletic showcase commenced punctually and concluded ahead of schedule, with Jn Baptiste accumulating a remarkable 712 points through exceptional performances across multiple age divisions.
The competition for second place intensified during the afternoon relay events, where Jn Panel House narrowly surpassed Roland House in the final relay to secure runner-up position with 520 points. Roland House finished third with 510 points, marking another disappointing result for the team.
Jn Baptiste’s victory was propelled by outstanding performances in the Under-13 and Under-7 categories, complemented by Kishanie O’Reilly’s dominant showing in the Under-11 division. Despite Jn Panel’s sweeping victories in both Under-11 and Under-9 categories, Jn Baptiste maintained consistent excellence throughout the competition.
In senior events, Amirah St Aimee led Jn Baptiste to victory in the 80m and 150m races, while Roland’s Eleanor Emmanuel claimed gold in the 300m. The 600m event saw Roland’s Leona Edward withstand fierce competition from Jn Baptiste athletes Leannie Francois and Jeanique McFarlane. Relay events were split between houses, with Jn Panel taking the 4×75 and Jn Baptiste securing the 4×300.
The Under-11 division featured intense rivalry between O’Reilly (Jn Baptiste) and L’Anore Belasse (Jn Panel), with each athlete claiming multiple medals. Meanwhile, Jn Panel’s Saige Edward and Danielle Jn Charles dominated the Under-9 category, while Louisiana Simeon achieved double gold for Jn Baptiste in the Under-7 division.
The event concluded successfully at 2:45 PM following the traditional parents’ relay, marking another incident-free edition of the annual championships.
