KC started the day in the lead, by 21 points, and after the first set of finals, the 400m, which ended without a single victory for neither of the challengers, who watched as Javere Bell of Seaford (46.54), Lennox Williams of Manchester (46.54) and Jordan James (50.28) took classes 1, 2 and 3 respectively. KC, however, maintained their lead 150-124 over JC.
The boys’ sprint hurdles were up next, KC with Stefan Fennell took the Class 1 110m Hurdles event in 13.68 while JC's with Tyler Mason (13.82) took Class 2, after which JC got closer with 164 to KC 169.
In the 800m finals, Holmwood's won Class 1 with Kevin White (1:52.26), Foga Road High's Kevin Robinson (1:57.40) took Class 2 and Orville Dixon, a 13-year-old, with 2:00.24 for the Class 3 title, but again without a single victory, JC were able to scratch 2nd and 3rd in Class 3 and 3rd and 4th in Class 2, to move slightly ahead 177-167.
JC stretched their lead after Deshawn Jackson's (21.97) and Devaughn Baker's (22.69) victories in the Classes 2 and 3 boys 200m finals.
With the title still on the line before the relays, JC picked up vital points in the Classes 1 and 2 boys High Jump, and James McDonald's victory in the Javelin Throw, a new event, (58.75), despite KC's victories in the Class 2 discus (Andre Helps, 48.68), going into the relays, JC 235 lead KC 219.
KC won the sprint medley relay in 3:33.17 ahead of Calabar (3:33.72), but JC were close behind in third, 3:35.73.
After the 4x100m finals, which JC came out on top in classes 2 (41.21, a record run) and 3 (43.29) extended their lead 237 to 223 over KC.
In between events, JC also picked up valuable points in the Shot Put for Class 1 boys, which went to Calabar's Ashinia Miller (18.98, a record throw) over his teammate Traves Smikle (18.05m).
So, it was down to the final event, and as mentioned earlier, JC would only lose the Champs if they had failed to finish and KC had won.
But in the end, the final points tally was JC 280, KC 269, Calabar 236, Wolmer's 139, MUnro 133, St. Jago 120.5, STETHS 67, Manchester 34, Holmwood 33 and Bridgeport 23.
