Sharon girl sets record straight

Shelanie Augustine of Sharon Primary broke the lone championship record to fall during yesterday’s semi-finals of the 2012 Pine Hill National Primary Schools’ Athletic Championships (NAPSAC) at the National Stadium.
Augustine came in with a best throw of 16.38 metres in the Under-7 Girls’ tennis ball throw. She improved to 24.40m, erasing the 21.82 by Brianne Waldron of St Paul’s two years ago.
Only two finals, both of them high jumps, were contested.
In the girls’ division, Kanyah Thompson of Lawrence T. Gay and Cuthbert Moore’s Toniqua Graham both cleared 1.32 metres, Thompson getting the edge on the countback. Tiarah Lowe of Bayley’s was third with 1.29 metres.
