It's a Jamaican high school. Does anyone really care?
Jamaican HSs often abuse their ability to have 19 year olds competing on relays in the 4x400m. There should be stricter age requirements (for all athletes) that you cannot be turning 20 in the year you are competing as a HSer. They had grown ass men on Calabar run 3:03 in 2018.
Jamaican schools use to do this all the time; Penn manages to catch them from time to time. Some of the most outstanding performances by Jamaican high schools where practically all-star teams with transfers and 20yo athletes. One year Penn turned down the entries of so many athletes that the entire nation threatened to boycott the relays. Please note, most Jamaican schools and athletes follow the rules. Btw, at Penn, all schools compete under NHSF rules.
This is nonsense. Name one single 20 yo from Jamaica that ran at Penn. I'll wait. Also no way in hell a Calabar athlete would represent KC, JC, St. Jago or any other school and give them the glory etc. This will never ever happen as the rivalry is that deep.
This sounds like it would be against the rules in most states. Otherwise, they could just assemble super relay teams every single year.
This is why high school basketball is still better than AAU with their superteams, it is about fair competition more than creating superteams artificially.
