The athletes were not the only winners, as three individuals – Angela Jackson, Leo Garnes and Michael Gaskin – were rewarded for their contributions to BSSAC over the years.
Repeat girls’ champions The St Michael School and kings Harrison College, along with displaced three-time winners Christ Church Foundation School, captured the lion’s share of prizes. However, many of the other schools shared in the booty with St George Secondary girls and Deighton Griffith boys being voted the most improved boys and girls, respectively.
BSSAC’s 2019 edition featured the spectators returning to the stands and music, along with drums, making a long-awaited return to add life to the atmosphere.
BSSAC chairman Orson Alleyne, who is also the principal of the Alexandra School, in his welcome address described the drums and music as having “provided the right atmosphere”.
The awards ceremony was well attended by principals, physical education teachers and sponsors, who played a role in presenting the prizes. (KB)
