LOCAL ATHLETES officially laced up their track shoes for the first time in 2017 when they competed in the New Year’s Odd Distance Classic at the National Stadium on Saturday.
Athletes from schools and clubs across the island competed in the 50, 150, 300, 600 and 1 200 metres as well as field events.
Saturday’s meet was the second staged at the stadium for the year following Eden Lodge Primary’s inter-house sports the previous day.
