Cleveland Eneas Primary repeats as the track and field champions

CLEVELAND Eneas Primary repeated as champions of the New Providence Public Primary Schools Sports Association’s 2025 track and field championships.

Cleveland Eneas, coached by Mariska Thompson, wrapped up their ninth overall title on Friday at the Thomas A. Robinson Track and Field Stadium with a total of 306 points.

Garvin Tynes Primary followed in second place with 226, Thelma Gibson got third with 167, TG Glover was fourth with 135 and Sadie Curtis rounded out the top five with 123.

The remaining schools in order were Eva Hilrton with 84, Stephen Dillet with 83, Palmdale Primary with 81, Uriah McPhee with 80, Carlton E Francis with 63, Gerald Cash with 62, Albury Sayle with 58, EP Roberts with 58, Yellow Elder with 57, Sandilands with 56; CW Sawyer with 40, Claridge with 31, Gambier with 15 and Ridgeland rounding out the field with 11. Thompson said she had no doubt they would be victorious after all of the hard work they put in for the three-day meet. “Every year, the performances are different, so are the celebrations,” Thompson said. “I’m elated that my children executed what they were taught and they got the job done. I told them my hard work was already done as their coach. But it’s up to them to go on the track and do it and that is exactly what they did. It was our track and field athletes that did it. It was a very balanced team, so I’m really proud of them.”

Thompson expressed her gratitude to her principal Avinell Smith, along with her parents. She said it was a total collaboration to get the job done.
