The 2008 Inter School Athletics finals, organised by the Gambia Secondary School School’s Sports Association, was claimed by The Gambia Senior Secondary School.

In the final staged last weekend at the Independence Stadium in Bakau Gambia High school, as it is fondly called, registered 467points being the highest number of points in this years edition.

Bottrop Senior Secondary school from Western Region came out second with 325 points followed by Saints, who made what looked like a disappointing performance this year by only picking 195 points.

Pakalinding toped the Junior category with 229, followed by Latrikunda Junior Secondary school with 190 points. Abuko Secondary School occupied 3rd position with 137 points.

The annual Inter school championship brought together schools from across the country to compete in different events ranging from field to track events.
