Twenty schools from the parishes of St. Thomas, Portland, St. Mary, rural St. Andrew and east rural St. Catherine will participate in some 80 events at the ESSSA/ JNBS Track and Field Championships to be held March 3 and 4 at the National Stadium in St. Andrew.

Morant Bay and Yallahs high schools from St. Thomas also pose strong competition.
The two- day Meet, being sponsored by JNBS for the 28th consecutive year, is a qualifier for the ISSA Boys’ and Girls’ Championships and has become a prime event for sporting officials scouting talent; as many participants move on to represent Jamaica at the national and international levels.
This year’s Eastern Champs will see the reintroduction of a cheerleading competition sponsored by JNBS and an improved entertainment package for patrons.
