Girls

Holmwood Technical seem strong in Class Four, but coaches are reluctant to count these points in the lower classes as many of the girls are new to competition.

Chris-Ann Gordon, another class act for Holmwood, will contest the 400/800 metres.

Manchester's Natoya Goule, who will run in the 800 and 1500 metres, and Vere's Jura Levy, a star act in the Class One sprints, are notable stars.

Boys

Calabar's Ramone 'Batman' McKenzie, who is very confident he will take the Class One 200/400 metres double, is the man set to lead his team's charge. In the lower classes, Travis Drummond also of Calabar will lead the sprinters.

Kingston College, Keiron Stewart,who will start favourite in the 110m and 400m hurdles.

Herbert Morrison, apart from Lee, who will be among the favourites for the 100m, have Jason Young in the 200m and he too could create some problems for Calabar.

 Jamaica College, who will be led by Waqar DaCosta in the middle distances and Earl Grant, along with Wolmer's Dwayne Extol and Julian Forte, would also be there to capitalise on any mistakes.
