RAIN PUT a serious damper on The Lodge School Inter-House Sports Day which came off at the Massiah Street, St John school grounds on Friday.
In the very wet and muddy conditions many of the athletes slid or fell, while others literally trotted to the tape to avoid the embarrassment of falling.
However, at the end of the melee, it was all Emptage House with 649 points emerging as championship. Wedderburn was second with 581.5, Laborde, third with 541, followed by Gooding with 393.5. Last year's defending champions Codrington House finished at the bottom of the table in fifth place with a mere 282 points.
Physical education teacher at the school Clifton Phillips told SUNSPORT he was pleased with the efforts from the organisers and athletes who ran their hearts out to make the meet a success, despite the wet and treacherous conditions.
"It is unfortunate we did not get to see the athletes at their best since times or records were out of the question, as it was a matter of survival for most of the competitors, but they all gave of their best in the conditions."
In the junior division Shemar Goodridge and Arielle Johnson emerged as the victor and victrix Ludorum with 59 and 41 points, respectively, while in the seniors it was Rico Tull and Sade Sealy with 50 and 55 points, respectively. (CH)
