The BVIAA First Development Meet may have been diluted by the non-participation of Top Notch Track Club’s athletes, but Sprint Tech Track Club took full advantage, recording a whole slew of PB’s and powerful starts to launch their season.

The U18 Girls 300m saw the same three lead home the pack, but this time Defreitas finished first with Fahie and Frett just behind.
Kyron McMaster, of Fast Lane Track Club, running in the 600m to build his strength and staying power for his 400m Hurdle season, romped home in a time of 1:25.70 to lead home Khiry Creque and Joshua Hill.
Sh’Kida Lavacia took first place in the Female 600m, leading home Judine Lacey and Arianna Hayde in a time of 1:46.30.
