declared champion boy in the over-15 division at Friday's high school track and field meet.

Butterfield helped Saltus lift the over-15 team title with victories in the 800, 1500 and 3000 metres on the newly-relaid National Sports Centre track.

Individual runner-up was Gabriel Wilkinson who broke the high school record in the shot putt (52 feet, three inches) and finished second in the 200 metres.

His school Berkeley, however, had to settle for third place overall (60 points) behind CedarBridge Red (68). Saltus won with 71.

In the over-15 girls, Latanya Dickerson, like Butterfield, won three events -- shot putt, discus and javelin -- to lead Berkeley (100) to victory over Warwick Academy (63) and CedarBridge Red (50).

Dickerson was the champion girl ahead of MSA's Janine Scott, who won the 100 and 200 metres and placed fourth in the long jump.

Berkeley also won the under-15 boys, taking nine of the 12 individual events for a total of 105 points. A distant second were Saltus on 48 and Warwick Academy third on 40.

Richard Walcott was the champion boy after victories in the 800, 1500 and 3000 metres while Berkeley team-mate Delmari Scott was the individual runner-up with victories in the high jump and 100 metres and a second place finish in the long jump.

Warwick Academy (69) edged Berkeley (63) for the under-15 girls crown with BHS placing third on 31 points.

Shanay Scott, who won the high jump and open 300 metres and finished second in the 800 and 1500m, pipped Kendra Gill by one point for the individual title.

Gill won the 400 and 100 metres, finished second in the triple jump and fourth in the long jump.

Tache King of CedarBridge Red set a new under-15 discus record of 87 feet, three inches -- almost nine feet further than the old mark of 78 feet, four inches.
