The Keilando Goburn-coached girls swept all the sprint hurdles events with Carifta Games Under-17 champion Crystal Morrison winning the Class Two 100m hurdles in an impressive 13.70 seconds. Edwin Allen High's Selieca Myles (14.09 ) was second, and Hydel High's Velecia Williams (14.15) placed third in the event.

In the day's opening event, Jamaica College's Class Two athlete, Robert Graham, gave the hosts the perfect start as he became the first athlete to win a race on the new synthetic track at the Ashenheim Stadium.

Graham won the first heat of the Class Two 400m hurdles in 55.92 seconds. Shemar Uter (56.45) of Wolmer's Boys and Calabar High's Javelin Fullerton (57.37) ended second and third, respectively.

In the boys' sprint hurdles, St Jago's Class Two pair of Vashaun Vascianna and Jahvel Granville, one-two at last year's Boys' Championships, continued from where they left off in the class.
