The High Schools competed in five divisions; under 20 boys, under 20 girls, under 17 boys, under 17 girls, and under 15 boys - with ten-member relay teams, but a longer leg distance of one mile, which took each competitor from BayFront Park, south to the forked junction at Governor’s Harbour’s southern approach, then back, running north along the Queen’s Highway back into BayFront Park.

There were no dominant performances by any one of the high schools participating. North Eleuthera High took the win in the under 20 boys division. Preston H. Albury commanded the under 17 boys challenge and also claimed the win in the under 15 boys as Central Eleuthera was disqualified. Central Eleuthera showed up in the girls divisions, taking top spot in the under 20 girls matchup, and running uncontested in the under 17 division - took the win there as well.

In the primary contest, between the six participating schools, which began the day’s excitement - Tarpum Bay Primary would finish ahead of all their peers, followed by Deep Creek Primary in second place, and Rock Sound came in at third.
