Calabar, Jago and Manchester claim crowns at 114th Penn Relays
Calabar, St Jago and Manchester high sizzled to claim Championship of America titles on yesterday’s final day of the 114th Penn Relays at Franklin Field stadium. After two disasters in the morning session, where Calabar lost Ramone McKenzie, who was seen on crutches, and Kingston College’s (KC) Andre Peart, who got hurt in the 4×400m heats, Jamaica schools did well by taking all three relays contested on the day.
It started in the Championship of America’s boys’ 4×100m when Calabar, running without regular second-leg man McKenzie, upset St Jago, who failed to finish. The quartet of Andrew Riley, Earl Lee, Warren Weir and Oshane Bailey stopped the clock in 40.74. Riley, the team’s captain, said the victory was great.
“One of our main players (McKenzie) was injured and that really motivated us. We wanted to show that it’s not a one-man team, it’s a group, so that really gave us a great boost to go out there and deliver for the school,” Riley said.
