The action on Tuesday evening will start at 2:00 pm with the boys’ Javelin Throw OPEN preliminaries, as well as the Class 1 boys’ Long Jump qualifying rounds.
Action on the track begins with the Class 4 girls’ 70m hurdles preliminaries at 2:15 pm, which will be followed by all the respective hurdling events.
The opening rounds of the 400m dash are also set for the first day, with the 3000m Steeplechase OPEN to close out the opening night of action.
Kingston College and defending champions Calabar High are set to battle things out for the boys’ title, this according to the annual “Champs Preview Magazine” — while it seems as though Edwin Allen are the overwhelming favourites to dominate on the girls’ side.
“Our chances are very good based on performances during the development meets leading up to Champs,” a very confident Edwin Allen High coach Michael Dyke told The Gleaner.
“Once everybody remains healthy and injury free, I have no doubt we will win again at Champs.”
There have been misfortunes and slip ups in the past and the likes of Jamaica College (JC) and even St. Jago are ready to pounce in the boys’ category.
JC head coach Orville Brown is confident his injury free team is ready to perform at the championships, but can do so under less pressure.
“Our boys are under less pressure, and so we are comfortable with this role,” Brown said to The Gleaner.
“We have never been fancied contenders, even when we had a much stronger team, and so we are not listening to the noise in the market.
“We are focusing on maximising the output of the team.”
