Less than 24 hours af­ter Isa­iah Tay­lor cap­tured T&T's first gold medal in a new Games record which bet­tered the 17.42m set by Ja­maican Christo­pher Brown four year ago, his com­pa­tri­ots Tyriq Hos­ford and Por­tious War­ren added two more gold medals via field events, shot put and javelin.

Hos­ford com­pet­ing in the Boys un­der-18 Shot field put even, Tyriq Hos­ford added an­oth­er gold when he threw the 700g "Iron Spear" 70-73 me­tres on his fifth of six throws at the 44th Carif­ta Games tak­ing place at the Sil­ver Ju­bilee Sta­di­um, Bas­seterre Sta­di­um, St Kitts yes­ter­day.

Hos­ford chal­lenged 14 con­tenders in his quest for gold and records dis­tances of (64.18, 58.59, 57.81, a fouled ef­fort, 70.73 and closed off with 68.32me­tres) to hold off Ja­maica's Kevin Nedrick (65.09m), the leader at the halfway mark.

Hos­ford's com­pa­tri­ot Van­del Joseph se­cured the bronze medal with an ef­fort of 61.67 me­tres. In fact he was the leader from the start. He fouled his sec­ond at­tempt, then fol­lowed up with ef­forts of 56.78m, 56.89m, an­oth­er foul and fi­nal­ly 60.67m.

Mean­while, War­ren al­so had her chal­lenges when she bounced back from foul­ing her first at­tempt to land the pre­cious gold medal with her fifth at­tempt (15.22 me­tres). He ef­forts were 13.85m, 14.50m, 14.42m, 15.22m and 14.60m. Her op­po­nents Tre­via Gumbs fin­ished sec­ond with a 14.83m throw in her sec­ond at­tempt be­fore foul­ing her next four ef­forts, while T&T"s Chelsea James end­ed in third place with a best of 14.73 me­tres. She had five good at­tempts (13.84m 14.15m 13.96m 14.56m 14.73m) be­fore red-flag­ging her last try.

Sprint­er Akan­ni His­lop se­cured the sil­ver medal in the Boys Un­der-18 100 me­tres dash be­hind a time of 10.47 sec­onds, trail­ing Ba­hami­an Ja­van Mar­tin, who stopped the clock at 10.41 sec­onds with Ja­maican Tyreke Wil­son third in 10.56.

There was no medals for T&T in the Girls Un­der-20 100 me­tres fi­nals af­ter Kayelle Clarke had to set­tle for fourth place in 11.75 sec­onds which was slow­er than the 11.64 she clocked in the pre­lim­i­nar­ies. The race was won by Na­tal­li­ah Whyte of Ja­maica in 11.56 sec­onds, one hun­dredths of a sec­ond slow­er than her qual­i­fy­ing time.

T&T's Xavier Mu­lu­ga­ta fin­ished sixth in the Boys Un­der-20 fi­nals in 10.65 sec­onds. His qual­i­fy­ing time was 10.57 sec­onds.
