Bullis High School te gate fen jounen an pou sipòtè Jamayiken yo yè nan Franklin Field nan Pennsylvania, lè li pran dènye kous jounen an nan Penn Relays. Lekòl ameriken an, ki te jwenn elan nan men medaye lò olenpik Quincy Wilson, ranpòte relè High School Boys’ Championships of America 4x400-mèt la an 3:10.15.
Apre li te chanje ekipman pou final la, Bullis te kontwole kous la fasil. Archbishop John Carroll of Washington fini dezyèm an 3:13.15, pandan Jamaica College fini twazyèm an 3:13.57. Kingston College, chanpyon sortan yo ki t ap chèche yon senkyèm tit youn apre lòt, fini katriyèm an 3:14.74. Munro College fini wityèm an 3:27.73, epi Excelsior High School pa t fini kous la.
Rezilta a make premye viktwa yon lekòl ki baze Ozetazini nan evènman an depi 2007, lè Long Beach Poly nan California te pran tit la dènye fwa.
Pi bonè, Jamaica College te bay foul Jamayiken an yon soulajman nan move tan mouye ak gwo frèt. Yon dènye kous pwisan Kai Kelly te pèmèt JC pran kouwòn High School Boys’ Championships of America 4x100m nan an 40.03 segonn.
Kingston College fini dezyèm an 40.19, avèk St James Academy of Virginia twazyèm an 40.38. St Jago High School pran katriyèm plas an 40.43, Edwin Allen High School senkyèm an 40.51, Excelsior High School sizyèm an 40.60, Wolmer’s Boys’ School setyèm an 41.68, Petersfield High School wityèm an 41.77, epi St Mary High nevyèm an 42.37.
Avèk uit lekòl Jamayiken ki te aliyen pou final 4x100m nan, te gen gwo atant pou yon konkou sere nan yon kous anpil moun te wè kòm ouvè. JC te bezwen vitès final Kelly a pou asire viktwa a, premye pa yo nan evènman an depi 2023.
K ap kouri nan liy sis, JC te pase anpil nan kous la ap eseye ratrape KC, ki te demare byen file nan liy uit epi ki te toujou devan nan dènye pas baton an. KC te toujou devan ak anviwon 50 mèt ki te rete, men Kelly, chanpyon 100m Under-17 Carifta Games la, pouse devan dènye kourè Taj-Oneil Gordon pou sele viktwa a pou JC.
Makaelen Woods, Nathaniel Martin ak Elijah Smeikle se te lòt manm katriyèm viktorye Jamaica College la. Smeikle te di ekip la te antre nan final la ak kwayans yo te kapab pran tit la.
“Malgre kondisyon yo te frèt anpil, sa pa t afekte nou, paske nou te gen anpil konfyans lè nou t ap antre nan final yo, epi depi nou te egzekite byen, nou te konnen viktwa a t ap pou nou. Se te travay di, nuit san dòmi, epi big-up pou tout moun ki te rann sa posib,” Smeikle te di.
Ekip Jamayiken yo te fè rafal tou nan premye pozisyon yo nan final relè konsolasyon International 4x100m nan. William Knibb ranpòte l an 40.71, devan St George’s College an 42.27, Calabar an 42.48, Cornwall College an 42.51, Munro an 42.54 ak Herbert Morrison an 42.63.
Nan relè Championships of America 4x800m nan, Jamaica College se te sèl finalis Jamayiken an e li fini katriyèm an 7:52.27. Union Catholic of New Jersey ranpòte l an 7:41.10, devan IMG Academy of Florida an 7:42.71. Hackensack of New Jersey te twazyèm an 7:52.27.
