Contestants were lined up by size and age. They were timed and the one with the best time won the race. Participants used sticks to guide their wheels to the finish line. The competition was fierce and lively as onlookers cheered on the competitors from start to finish.
ICS Statia owner and manager Makeba Mitchell thanked the more than 35 individuals and companies that contributed to making the event a great success. She said the event would not have been as successful without their contributions.
Coming in second place was Roshaun Berkel, who won a cash prize of $120 from Windward Island Exports (Dion Sadasey) and the third prize winner was Renicio Berkel, who won $50 cash from Gramva Enterprises.
ICS Statia and Dion “Mega D” Humpreys of Mega D Youth Foundation made sure that each child received a small gift for participating to ensure that no one went home empty-handed.
