Anthony Foster, Freelance WriterBellefield High's Kemoy Campbell and Manchester High's Natoya Goule stole the spotlight at yesterday's Burger King 10K, the final race of the 2007 Foska Oats Road Race Series in Portmore.
However, it was Campbell and Royalty Track Club's Tanice Barnett who came away as the series winners, the former having won all three races - Foska Oats and Ministry of Health 5K and yesterday's 10K - while the latter secured the first two of the season.
Campbell took yesterday's event in 31 minutes and 41 seconds ahead of Edwin Allen's Conroy Crossman (32:40), Kirk Brown of Ebony Seek (32:46), Damion Bent of G.C. Foster College (33:31) and Linton McKenzie of Windalco (33:44).
Rupert Green of It Dat Track Club (33:51), Gregory McKenzie of Windalco (34:01), Andrew Gutzmore of Ebony Seek (34:37), Kenroy Benjamin of G.C. Foster College (34:46) and Kevin Campbell of Lion Heart Track Club (35:16) complete the top 10.
Campbell, who achieved a personal best, said: "It's a great time for me because that's my best time in a 10K."
Well-prepared
In the female section, Goule stopped the clock at 40:08 seconds ahead of Barnett (40:26), Amoya Bailey of Holmwood (42:27), Rosemarie Aldridge of Bellefield (42:46) and Mackola Joseph of Edwin Allen (43:22).
After losing the first two races, Goule was grateful with the outcome.
"I was well-prepared for this one because of how the girl was boasting on me ... I said I cannot let her beat me all the time.
"I am not going to boast on her like how she did," added Goule, then gave thanks to God, sponsors Foska Oats, Burger King and the Ministry of Health.
Barnett said: "The competition today was pretty good, I am proud of Natoya Goule. It was pretty tough out there, but I am excited to be the (series) winner."
The Grand Prix awards ceremony will be held at G.C. Foster College on Wednesday at 10:00 a.m.
