Northern Marianas Athletics held qualifiers for 10 more events in the 2019 Public School System/McDonald’s All Schools Track and Field Championships last Saturday at the Oleai Sports Complex.

The qualifiers are for middle and high school divisions in the U13, U15, and U18 age groups. Students from Chacha Oceanview Middle School, Saipan Community School, Saipan International School, Agape Christian School, Francisco Mendiola Sablan Middle School, Hopwood Middle School, Dandan Middle School, Tanapag Middle School, Mt. Carmel School, Marianas High School, Kagman High School, and Saipan Southern High School joined the qualifiers.

Students raced in the 100m and 300m hurdles, 100m, 1,500m, 400m, 200m, 3,00m, 4x100m relay, and 4x400m relay events.

Meanwhile, NMA was on Tinian last Thursday for the island’s qualifier. Tinian is given two slots in the sprints and middle distance races and throwing and jumping events with the winners in the qualifiers joining Saipan and Rota students in the championship.

The final round will be held on May 3 and 4 for the elementary division (U7, U9, and U11 age groups) and May 10 and 11 for middle and high school categories.
