High school outfits have been tuning up for the 32nd running of the Gibson Relays which speeds off today at the National Stadium. A major meet on the local athletics calendar, Gibson Relays facilitates track and field teams in fine-tuning their routines and hit qualifying times. And for Jamaican high schools, it's a great dry run ahead of the big event, Boys and Girls Championships, in March.

One of the top hurdlers at the schoolboy level, Warren Weir, leads the Calabar team in a warm-up session earlier this week.
