INDIVIDUAL STARS stole the spotlight again on semi-final day of the Pine Hill Dairy National Primary Schools Athletic Championships (NAPSAC) but eyes also shifted to the number of qualifiers the top contenders have going into next Wednesday’s final at the National Stadium.
It may seem coincidental that defending girls champions St Stephen’s collected 14 points from the only final contested yesterday in the Open High Jump to top the table.

In Zaria Knight and Kiera Payne they have the fastest qualifiers in the Under-13 girls 100 metres with times of 13.35 seconds and 13.60 seconds respectively.

They have a platform to make a strong defence of their crown. (AT)
