HARRISON COLLEGE, one of the most revered schools in Barbados, held their annual sports day yesterday, and with Jonathan Jones, Aren Spencer, Layla Haynes and Caleb Massiah leading the way, are poised to be a major force at the Secondary Schools Championships.

The tag of fastest boy at the school went to Division 2 athlete Julian Forde, a member of the champion house Dalton. Forde, clocked the fastest time of the day in the 100 metres, racing across the finish line at the school ground on Crumpton Street in 11.43 secs.

Here, the smooth-striding Forde sprinting to the finish line well clear of Armstrong’s Jide Griffith to the delight of spectators. (Picture by Kenmore Bynoe.)
