It was pure excitement at the 2017 edition of BSSAC, with keen competition over the two days on the track and the field at a packed National Stadium.
Amassing 313 points, St. Michael School (SMS) not only took home the Boys’ overall title, but also won the best team on parade.

In fourth and fifth place were defending Boys’ champions Lester Vaughan on 179.50; and Coleridge and Parry on 165.50.

They won with a total of 332 points, way ahead of former queens Springer Memorial who finished second on 264.53. Third and fourth places were separated by less than a point, with Harrison College narrowly edging St. Michael School. College tallied 221.83 points and St. Michael School was just behind on 221.33.
