Hislop keeps Tobago title hopes alive with sprint title

Carifta champion Akanni Hislop of Tobago Zone did as expected and won the Boys Over-18 100 metres final at the National Secondary Schools Track and Field Championships yesterday at the Hasely Crawford Stadium in Mucurapo.

Hislop clocked in 10.68 seconds to cross ahead of Chad Richards of St Patrick in 10.95 and Aaron Brewster (Victoria) in 11.17 in perfect weather for athletics as the sun beamed down on T&T's top junior athletes despite clouds hanging overhead for the entire day.

Hislop a few minutes later anchored Tobago to victory in the Boys O-18 4x100m in 42.34 with Port-of-Spain second in 42.93 and Victoria third in 43.37.

In the Boys Over-18 400m, Victoria's Kashief King clocked 47.86 to edge out Darren Alfred of Tobago (47.89), to cop gold while Antonia Barker of Port-of-Spain won the Girls' race in 1:02.95.

Barker, running the last leg, helped her team nab gold also in the Girls O-18 4x100m in 51.48. Tobago (51.84) and North East (55.12) finished second and third, respectively.

Ethan Forde of Port-of-Spain took the Boys U-14 400m in 52.21 beating Chazz Alexander (St Patrick) in 52.33 and Jyasi Murray (Victoria) in 52.40.

Forde's teammate Kershel Mc Intyre sealed the Girls U-18 400m in 58.22 ahead of Schrese Trim (Tobago) and Afiya Wyllie also of Port-of-Spain.

In other relay events which closed off the day's activities 100m winner Arianna Luco also anchored Port-of-Spain to victory in the Girls U-14 4x100 in 54.69 ahead of Tobago (55.39) and St Patrick (55.42).
