Indeed, the tots really turned in gritty performances and even the teachers joined in the frolic, egging on their respective athletes. An especially entertaining race occurred in the Girls U-8, 200M event when Shania King blaze away from her competitors and was the first to brace the line. Monella Johnson and Jada O’Brien finished behind her in that order.
The sportsmanlike environment continued right up to the end of the prize giving ceremony when the tots from the winning unit broke into song; “Dove is the best, better than the rest; any other house, is a no contest.”
