Athletes battled strong headwind at Saturday’s (15 Feb) Ben Francis Invitational Meet held at GC Foster College in Spanish Town.
Michael Dyke, Edwin Allen High’s head coach, told Trackalerts.com, “there was a strong headwind, powerful, and there was no wind guage.”
The meet, however, was without the crucial wind guage.
Edwin Allen won three of the 100m events. Kevona Davis, 12.08; Serena Cole, 12.26 and Xavian Harrison, 12.92 were the winners in classes, 1, 2 and 4.
