The Ministry of Youth Development and Sports concluded its primary school sports programme for the first term of 2024-2025 with the inter-school road race on Wednesday in Vieux Fort. District 8, comprising schools in Soufrière and environs, took six of the 12 podium places across four categories.

In the Under-11 girls category, Dreamer Longville and Hadassah Jules did a District 8 1-2, and Cianne Herman was fourth.
“Our athletes went out and showed what they are truly made of!,” said the District 8 Sports Office in a Facebook post. “They showed that hardwork and determination pays off! We are super proud of all our athletes for representing District 8 well!
The only category in which District 8 did not have a top-three athlete was Under-13 girls, where
Anala William won for District 7, followed by Neah Mortley (3) and Danielle Lambert (1). Octavia Octave (6) was third in Under-11 girls. Aiden Biscette (6) was second in Under-13 boys, and Jahvis Emmanuel (1) was third in Under-11 boys.
