Fourteen teams consisting of three persons per team each running 2 miles, made history as participants in the first College Classic relay event.

Team Supers (Katrina Lindsay, Julius Farley, Jermaine Ricketts) were the overall winners in a time of 35 minutes 43.79 seconds. They were followed by team Sprint Tech 2 and Fast Lane respectively.

Race Director, Mrs Stephanie Russ-Penn explained that the relay event was birthed out of aiming to organise an extra special event for the 25th Anniversary celebrations in the midst of the constraints due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mrs Russ-Penn said, “It was the prefect finish to the 2020 College Classic Race Series and the relays will definitely be considered for future series.”

The HLSCC Department of Student Life and Special Events expresses extreme appreciation to their main sponsor Mourant, all their volunteers, the HLSCC family, Dean H. Greenaway aka ‘The Sportsman’ for his additional media support, and to all the 2020 participants that helped celebrate the significant milestone.
