Tobago athletes coming strong for National primary schools championship

Tobago Education District is coming to reclaim the crown they wore on two occasions, in 2008 and 2009, when they compete in the Atlantic National Primary Schools Championship.

However, it has been five years since the Tobagonians defeated perennial champion Port of Spain and Environs, which have dominated in recent years.

Tobago arrive tomorrow with a contingent of over 200 athletes, coaches and supporters. Last year, Tobago battled neck and neck with Port of Spain and Environs, until the relays.

Defending champions Port of Spain and Environs have won the Championship on 33 occasions in the 49 years of the competition. And head coach Abeyola Akowe is predicting a 27th title. "We have a balanced team and this will prove critical to winning the championship," she said.
