Ashby was ahead at the end of day one (five events) with 3226 following his victories in the long jump (6.39-673 pts) and high jump (1.87-687 pts), runner up in the shot put (10.64-524 pts) and 400m (54.62-614 pts) and third place in the 100m (11.57-738 pts). Caesar was in a close second with 3200 after his impressive win in the 400m (50.82-777ts) and second place in the 100m (11.25-806 pts) and high jump (1.75-585 pts) and third in the long jump (6.17-624 pts) and shot put (8.71-408 pts).  Monsegeue was third overall (2961) after he won the 100m (11.15-827 pts), was second in the long jump (6.33-659 points) and was third in the  shot put (9.04-428 pts), high jump (1.57-441 pts) and 400m (54.83-606 pts). On the second day the winner kept ahead of the field with wins in the 110m hurdles (15.35-808 points), javelin (45.87-528 points) and discus (31.38-492 pts). He extended his advantage with his second place finishes in the pole vault (2.60-264 pts).  Ceasar kept up the pressure with runner-up finishes in the 110m hurdles (16.46-682 pts), discus (24.19-352 points) and third place in the javelin (43.26-490 pts). However, he lost any chance of catching Ashby when he failed for clear a height in the pole vault. He recovered to win the final event (1500m) in 4:57.87 (572 pts). Ashby was fourth (5:46.51-322 pts), which was enough for him to take the decathlon crown. Akeel Antoine (Neon Wolves) was impressive in the shot put 15.18m-801 points) and the javelin (45.87m-528 pts) but he did not compete in the 110m hurdles, pole vault and 1500ma and fouled his three efforts in the discus.

Moses scored 5031 points with Joel Andrews (D'Abadie Progressive), 4895 and Nathanael Charles (Sangre Grande Sec), 3577 in second and third.
