District 11’s Rekie Williams and Sheama Tyrell of District 10 emerged winners of the male and female Open 10k road race of this year’s 58th National Schools Cycling, Swimming and Track and Field Championships which got underway yesterday.

Starting in the village of Mary and ending at the finish line inside the National Track and Field Centre, Williams and Tyrell were given rousing applauses as their entry came just after the opening ceremony.

Williams, 18, who hails from Region One but now attends Chase Academy in the city on a scholarship, stopped the clock in a brisk 34 minutes and 55 seconds to repeat as champion of the event.
