Alonzo Greaves maintained his dominance on the cycling track yesterday when he comfortably won the feature school boys & invitational 35-lap contest at the 10th Annual P&P Insurance Brokers & Consultants 11-race Meet held at the National Park.
Greaves yet again out sprinted Robin Persaud on the final straight to win the race in 1 hour 21 minutes 14.50 seconds; Warren Mc Kay in a last minute dash to catch the front runners had to settle for the 3rd place.
Enzo Matthews placed 4th, Berbician Turhan Harris 5th and Physically Challenged Walter Grant Stuart out hustled Paul De Nobrega to take the 6th and final spot. Persaud and Mc Kay shared 6 of the 8 sprint prizes equally with the other two going to Greaves.
