Yesterday the three day event concluded with the regular names dominating most of the 86 events at the National Aquatic Center.
Those names included Olympians Hannibal Gaskin and Jamila Sanmoogan among others who were outstanding throughout the final day.
As expected Gaskin emerged as winner in all of his event without much of a challenge while Sanmoogan featured in one event on the day.
Swimming in the boys’ 9-10 category out of the Silver Shark club, Raekwon Noel was unmatched for the entire day as he triumphed in all of his events. So did his club mate Leon Seaton who was spectacular in the boys’ 11-12 category.
In the girls’ 9-10 division Aleka Persaud was on a higher level than the rest of her peers as she dominated her events.
Kenita Mahaica, Phillip Denobrega, Nathon Hackett, Tsedeq Sekhel, Jadyn George, Tiffany DeMoura and Soroya Simmons also had a superb day.
In the girls eight and under segment, Ariel Rodriques dominated most events in that category but had to deal with stiff competition from rivals and twins Kayla and Kayle Hardy. Kayla managed a win in the 100m breaststroke while her sister Kayle won in the 50m freestyle.
