Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>Primary school competitors from Mahe were the last group to take part in heats ahead of the44th National Inter-School Athletics Championships scheduled for Saturday June 18.<\/b><\/p>\n

The annual championship had not featured over the past two years \u2012 2020 and 2021 \u2012 following a long break due to the threat of the Covid-19 pandemic that forced the department of health to order the closure of all educational establishments as a prevention measure to avoid the spread of the disease.<\/p>\n

After the island of La Digue hosted the heats for primary and secondary schools from Praslin and La Digue last Friday, it was the turn of competitors from schools on Mahe to pit their skills against each other as they fought for places in the finals on Saturday June 18.<\/p>\n

Competitors from secondary and post-secondary institutions were expected in action on Tuesday at Stad Linite but because of bad weather the events have been postponed to today, while those from primary schools competed yesterday at the same venue.<\/p>\n

This National Inter-School Athletics Championships bring together over 1,100 athletes from all public and private schools from Mah\u00e9, Praslin and La Digue.<\/p>\n

In the 43rd championships in 2019, only seven championship records were shattered in 100 track and field events and the count was two less than the previous year\u2019s total (2018), which was nine.<\/p>\n

The record breakers were:<\/p>\n

– Runa Didon: Girls\u2019 under-10 60m mini hurdles record in 10.8 seconds<\/p>\n

– Janessa Nourice: Girls\u2019 under-8 80m in 12.80 seconds<\/p>\n

– Grand Anse Praslin: Girls\u2019 under-12 4×100 relay team of Laurie Athanase, Shania Bresson, Geesha Capricieuse, Lyza Monnaie, Megan Pierre and Jerla Pouponneau with 57.93 seconds.<\/p>\n

– Joshua Onezime: Boys\u2019 under-18 high jump with 2.01m<\/p>\n

– Shakira Joubert: Girls\u2019 under-18 200m in 25.90 seconds<\/p>\n

– Denzel Adam: Boys\u2019 open 200m in 21.78 seconds<\/p>\n

– Daryl Hibonne: Boys\u2019 open 1500m in 4:29.98.<\/p>\n

La Digue primary and Anse Royale secondary retained their silverwares as best schools, while the Seychelles Tourism Academy was the new professional centre champion, dethroning the Seychelles Institute of Technology.<\/p>\n

La Digue primary garnered a grand total of 160 points to win the title for a fourth year running after winning the girls\u2019 under -10, boys\u2019 under -10, boys\u2019 under -12, girls\u2019 under-14 and also the Most Gold Medals Cup for primary schools.<\/p>\n
