Top guns dominate Cross Country
published: Sunday | January 6, 2008

Richard Bryan, Freelance Writer

NATIONAL SENIOR representatives Rupert Green and Tanice Barrett and Bellefield schoolboy Kemoy Campbell were repeat winners in the second of the three-race JAAA/Windalco Cross Country championship series held at Kirkvine Sports Club yesterday.

In the Senior Men's 8K event, Green sped away from veteran Linton McKenzie in a time of 28:59 to register his second successive win in the series which began in mid-December.

McKenzie was second in 29:16, pipping Shawn Pitter by two seconds. Pitter retained his third-place spot from the first race.

Barrett of Royalty Track Club in Kingston was supreme in the Senior Women's 6K race, finishing three seconds clear of Petrona McLymont in 24:46.

In the 6K race for Junior Males, Campbell, well known as the 1500 and 5000 champion at last year's Boys' Championships, again topped the field in 22 minutes flat.

Second-placed Jermaine Blake (22:45) of Mile Gully High noticeably improved from his fourth-place finish last time out. Sunil Kates, formerly of Central High but now representing Vere Technical, was timed in 22:52 for third.

In the Junior Females category (4K), Holmwood's Amoy Bailey made good use of the absence of Manchester High's Latoya Goule to win in 17:45 ahead of teammates Patricia Powell (17:49) and Kamiesha Lewis (17:56).

The final meet in the series is scheduled for January 19. Meet organiser Alfred Francis said the series would be used to help select the final team for the North and Central America Cross Country Champion-ships scheduled for Claremont, Florida in March.
