St Catherine High School have continued to leave their mark on the 113th staging of the ISSA/GraceKennedy Boys and Girls’ Athletics Championships, on inside the National Stadium, with Gabrilla Treasure, claiming gold in the Class Four High jump earlier this evening.

Treasure cleared the bar at 1.55 metres, the same as Campion College’s Stefvanco Henry, but earned the gold and nine points on countback.

The two were getting the better of Wolmer’s Trust High School for Girls’ Adajah Drysdale, who cleared 1.50 for third.

Drysdale pipped Wolmer’s teammate Karieca Morrison, who also jumped 1.50 metres, even though both had remained perfect until failing at 1.55.
