Well done Bermuda!!! Awesome performances by our young athletes. Quite a few races had the crowds on the edges of their seats – the excitement buzzing throughout the stadium was electric! Very sad to see the lack of support for such a positive occasion… That seems to be a growing trend on the island, unfortunately. Thank you to the Teachers who orchestrated and executed the event & HUGE thanks to the Coaches for their time and efforts!!
