District Five’s Morvin Hamilton and Tia Azore of District 10 emerged winners of the male and female Open 10k road race of this years’ 59th 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, at Leonora, Hamilton and Azore were each given rousing applause as their entry came just after the opening ceremony.

Hamilton, 18, stopped the clock in a brisk 34 minutes and 51 seconds to win the event he placed third in last year.
