Remarkable displays of speed, strength, stamina and leaping ability, enabled the Guyana Police Force Athletic Club (GPFAC) to retain the championship trophy of the Boyce/Jefford Classic last night at the MacKenzie Sports Club (MSC) ground.  With the continued absence of 2013 champions, Running Brave Athletic Club, GPFAC tallied 395 points to once again defeat last year’s runners up Guyana Defence Force (GDF) track and field team by 40 points (355) in the eighth edition of the Classic.

Super Upcoming Runnings (119 points) and Linden (76) finished third and fourth respectively to be among the money.

Throughout the two-day championships the victors who earned the $1M first prize, threw, leapt and ran away with most of the events while placing in the top five in many of the others.
