The celebrated athletes were Jace Jervis (champion: boys under 13); Jade Pitcairn (second place: girls under 17) and Brodey McComb (fourth place: boys under 11).
CISC coach Mark Chaloner said that he was very happy with the performance of the players as they represented the Cayman Islands with great competitive spirit and exemplary behaviour throughout the competition, stated a CISC press release.
