JEROME BLACKETT and Carlie Pipe have done it again.
Barbados’ top distance runners gave justification for their big billing yesterday after winning the men’s and women’s categories at the Co-operators General Insurance 5K series’ third leg on the Six Roads circuit.
The victories were the second in a row for both Pipe and Blackett, who dominated the series last week en route to first-place finishes on the Bridgetown circuit a week ago.
Blackett came home in a somewhat pedestrian time of 17 minutes and 35 seconds, while Pipe, who was ninth overall, was the first female home after clocking 19:55.
Pierre Stanford (17:38) and Oein Josiah (18:08) were second and third respectively, while Pipe’s training partner Elizabeth Renondeau (20:15) finished second in the women’s category. (JM)
