CASTRIES, Saint Lucia - The Morne Stars Athletics Club had a very successful

outing at the 15th First National Bank 13-and-Under Juvenile Championships.

The club enjoyed particular joy in the 8-9 age group, in spite of having entered at

least three 7-year-old athletes. Especially dominant was Randy Serville, who ran

away with the boys' 60-metre, 150-metre and 300-metre races in that division.

Leslie Lesporis was a medallist in the girls' 60-metre and 150-metre races, and

Phaige Leean Williams took gold in the girls' cricket ball throw.

Also winning medals in the 8-9 division were the girls silver medal 4x75-metre

relay team made up of Dubuisson, Thomas, Williams and Lesporis, and third

place in the mixed 4x150-metre relay; the team comprising Williams, Augustine,

Lesporis and Serville.

In the 10-11 age group, Morne Stars took two medals in the girls' cricket ball

throw, through Shaneka Isidore (gold) and Valerie Deterville (bronze).

The 12-13 Shot Putt division yielded two medals for the club, silver for Raquel

James in the girls' division and bronze for Kaj Alexander amongst the boys.

On the track, Jahmiah Daniel was third in the girls' 200-metre dash, easily

winning her heat as she had done earlier in the 100 metres.

After the meet, the executive of Morne Stars expressed the club’s gratitude for

the participation and support of several parents as well as senior athletes

including Kevin Lesporis, Danny Adley, Kenisha Darcie, Richard Lovence and

Johnell Leo.

Morne Stars AC now prepares for the Saint Lucia National Individual Track & Field

Championships, scheduled for June 22 at the George Odlum National Stadium in

Vieux-Fort.
