Defending champions Ona Glinton Primary School, who have clinched the Inter-Primary title for four consecutive years, ended the first day of competition in fourth place at the Turks and Caicos Islands Sports Commission/Turks and Caicos Amateur Athletics Association (TCAAA) Inter-Primary School Championships at the National Stadium in Providenciales.

With 84 points on the leaderboard, Ona Glinton trails current frontrunners Enid Capron Primary School, who surged ahead with a dominant 126-point performance. Oseta Jolly Primary School sits second with 96 points, followed closely by Eliza Simons Primary School with 90.

Ona Glinton, known for their consistency and championship pedigree, will be looking to bounce back over the next two days as the competition continues. The three-day event, which concludes on Friday, will see athletes competing across a range of track and field disciplines.

Thelma Lightbourne Primary School currently holds fifth place with 82 points, while Richmond Hills Preparatory (67) and Adelaide Oemler Primary School (42) are also keeping within striking distance of the top five.

With two days of action remaining, the battle for Inter-Primary supremacy is wide open.
