Team Faith Golden Performance Wins Champs 2010, Sunshine Crew Shines Again

Team Faith lead by brilliant record breaking performances by Rohan Walker of Jamaica College created the upset of the highly anticipated 2010 Word Time Ministries of Jamaica 10th Annual Sports Championships. Faith won the championships in an electrifying and convincing victory held at the St. Andrew High School for Girls, Kingston, Jamaica.


Rohan Walker’s emphatic victories in the Class 2 and Class 3 100m, 200m, 400m, and the Class 2 and Class 3, 4x100 relays was the driving force of Team Faith’s historic win at Sports Champs 2010. Team Faith's dramatic, exciting and triumphant march for the title was a great victory. The Sunshine Crew decked out in maroon and gold and with the eagle as their symbol secured their second title and rewrote the history books to be first time Champion Team. Team Faith amassed 2380 points with a jubilant team of young athletes who mined 14 track gold, 8 silver and 10 bronze medals. Faith also mined another 8 gold medals in the quality awards, a total of 23 gold medals.

Team Hope gave a four star performance and placed second with 2175 points. Team Hope, the purple power, symbolized by stars, pulled out all the stops and secured 11 gold, 15 silver and 11 bronze medals. Team Love only managed to score 1415 points and scraped 3 gold, 6 silver and 7 bronze medals from the medal mines left by Team Faith. Despite all the prevailing social, economic and environmental conditions in Kingston, Jamaica, the sun indeed shinned again for Team Faith. Faith finally emerged both title holders and Champion team for the first time in the history of the decade old Sports Championships. At the inaugural games in 2001 Team Faith while winning the title based on their track performances was not declared the champion team as the team lost valuable points for the character awards.

Team Faith’s wining aggregation of the faith eagles was lead by captain Rohan Walker (Jamaica College), Shennare Williams (Vere Technical High), Junior Francis (Ocho Rios High), and Cannigga Williams, Oshane Shaw, Keelia Parkinson, Chevel Walker, Saralee Roberts, Onyxia Young and Sheneil McNeil, all from Central Branch All Age. Team Faith handed a handsome defeat to the defending champions. Team Love was stunned, dazed, frazzled and dazzled. The highly motivated and electrifying performances of the sunshine crew plummeted Team Love to last position. Team Love’s only individual gold medal was won by Monifa Green (Central Branch) clocking 5:88 seconds in the Girls Under 12 50m.
