UWI were also in fine form, breaking the boys and girls 17 and over 200-metre medley relays.
NEW RECORD
A new national age-group record was set in the girls 13-14 50-metre butterfly, as Dominique Dawson hit the wall in a time of 31.81, shattering the old mark of 32.04.
After the meet, the Amateur Swimming Association of Jamaica's vice-president in charge of swimming, Kendis Nangle, said the meet had gained momentum and he looked forward to today's Prep/Primary Schools event.
"Congrats to Mayberry," he said. "They upped their sponsorship and included more prizes. The atmosphere was even more electric than last year and that is in part due to them," he said.
