Upper
and Senior Secondary Schools across the country are currently stretching up
their muscles for the 2017 national
inter-school athletics final set for this weekend at the Independence
Stadium in Bakau, following the completion of the regional heats.
Having
dominated the championship in the previous years, household names such as Saint
Augustine, Gambia High and Bottrop will face serious challenge from other
senior secondary schools for this year’s title.
Latrikunda
Sabiji, Pakalinding and Tallinding will also face stiff competition from other
Upper Basic schools to end their dominance in the annual championship.
The
final is expected to bring together upper and senior secondary schools in the
country for the annual championship crown.
The
National athletic team coach uses the annual inter-schools athletics championship
to scout out good athletes for the country’s national athletics team for
international competitions.
