They have won eight times on the track and that’s not an easy thing because all of the other schools are trying to win and the fact that they come out and they win year after year, I think it’s a good testimony to the type of track and field programme that they have at the school,” said Hon. Liburd.

“I also want to congratulate our very own Charlestown Secondary School (CSS) from here in Nevis, I think they’ve been second maybe three or four times now and they keep trying and we want to encourage them. I want to congratulate all of the other schools as well on excellent performances all around.”
