South Ruimveldt Primary School student, eight-year-old, Runako Williams was yesterday presented with his prize after winning the local Kiddy Cricket Mascot presentation, beating out 144 entries from 17 schools around the country.
Williams won a Nintendo DS while 11-year-old Kayshav Tewari of Valmiki Vidyalaya Primary School placed second to win himself a MP3 Player. South Ruimveldt Primary also copped the third spot when eight-year-old, Kande Skeete won a Scotiabank bag.
The three entries will be submitted for the regional competition.
The West Indies Cricket Board and Scotiabank officially announced their search for a new mascot last January.
The winning mascot from the regional competition will replace ‘Clarence the Crab’, who has been the mascot for Kiddy Cricket since 1998.
