CariFin hand out Cross-country $$

THE day finally came with the efforts of all winners in the 13th edition of the CariFin Cross Country four-part Fitness Series.

In his feature address, Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago Dr Shelton Nicholls, outlined the benefits of interaction between health and the financial sector. Stating that a healthy well-educated labour force was essential to enhance the performance of said institutions, CariFin, Nicholls continued was one of the most important items on the financial calendar having participated in the Savannah Walk and CariFin Cross Country event.

The event Nicholls said served three functions; development of social capital such as  social networking, competition and fun and family bonding, and he went on to congratulate all winners and extended wishes for more participation among the country’s financial institutions in physical activity. First Citizens Bank gave a good showing at the function with Joel Bharath winning the male run category and Uchenna Ogbue of RBTT won the female category; the two teams were neck and neck but FCB were able to take the male team trophy and RBTT the female crown.
