Smith captured four events, the 200 in 25.31, the 100 Hurdles in 14.56, the 400 Hurdles in 1:01.09, and the High Jump on Tueday (5-02). Teammate Karina Francis contributed a strong win in the 100 in 11.99, while Tyeshia Micale, Lynda Witfield, Kandis Worthington, and Dominique Samuels won the 4x800 in 10:03.91. Mike Syrnick, the Central junior, led his team to their 2nd straight title despite illness and injuries, winning the 800 in 1:56.94 and the 1600 in 4:32.52.
