Manchester High's Natoya Goule was the only record breaker at Saturday's Puma/Jamaica Amateur Athletic Association (JAAA) Development Track & Field Meet at Kirkvine Sports Club in Manchester.

Goule, a two-time Carifta Games 800m and 1500m Under-17 gold medallist, and CAC Under-17 1200m and 800m champion, continued her impressive career with an easy victory in the girls' Class Two 800m in 2: 17.30.

A first year Class Two athlete, Goule's time erased the previous best of 2:18.2 set by Carlene Robinson of Christiana in 2001.

Meanwhile, Goule's teammate Sandrae Farquharson ran an impressive 11.9 to win the girls' Class Four 100m, equalling the previous record of 11.9 seconds set by Ruth Ann Watson St. Benedick in 2001.

Edwin Allen's Gayann Evans (11.40) won the Class Two 100m.

Orenthia Bennett of Manchester (12.00) took the girls' Class Three 100m ahead of Edwin Allen's Brenda Barnett (12.10) and Tasheika Stephens of St. Elizabeth Technical ( 12.00).

G.C. Foster College's Sonita Sutherland, who ran with the Class One girls, also ran 11.40.

Jaime Wilson of Old Harbour (11.10) took the Class Three boys' 100m, while Manchester's Darrion Bent (10.60) won Class Two and Anglo Young of Kemps Hills ( 10.40) took Class One.

Shirleen Brown of Manchester (2:25:40) won the girls' Class Three 800m ahead of Patricia Powell (2:27:20) while Holmwood's Bobby-Gaye Wilkins (2: 24.30) took Class One.

May Day's San-J Powell (2:13.80) won the 800m for Class Three boys, Garnett Gordon of Vere (2:08.20) took Class Two and Manchester Alwayne Green (2: 03.60) won Class One.
