The Na­tion­al As­so­ci­a­tion of Ath­let­ics Ad­min­is­tra­tions of Trinidad and To­ba­go (NAAATT) has se­lect­ed its largest-ever con­tin­gent of 97 mem­bers, in­clud­ing 78 ath­letes and 19 of­fi­cials, to rep­re­sent Trinidad and To­ba­go at the up­com­ing Carif­ta Games, which will take place at Hase­ly Craw­ford Sta­di­um, Mu­cu­rapo, from April 19 to 21, 2025.

Among the ath­letes se­lect­ed to wear the na­tion­al colours are the de­fend­ing Girls’ Un­der-20 Long Jump gold medal­list and record hold­er and the 2024 win­ner of the pres­ti­gious Austin Sealy Award, Janae De Gannes. Join­ing her is last year’s Boys’ Un­der-17 200m gold medal­list, Kadeem Chi­napoo, and Com­mon­wealth Youth Games high jump sil­ver medal­list Jai­di James.

For the sec­ond con­sec­u­tive year, the team will fea­ture three sets of twins: the Fred­er­ick sis­ters, Sanaa and Sole; the Lewis broth­ers, Khor­dae and Khordel; and the sib­ling duo Tyrique and Tenique Vin­cent – a rare oc­cur­rence for any team.

In the lead-up to the se­lec­tion, over 500 ath­letes vie for a place on the team from three days of Carif­ta Games Tri­als held at Hase­ly Craw­ford Sta­di­um Train­ing Field, where the field events were con­test­ed on Fri­day, 4 April, while the track events took place at the Man­ny Ramjohn Sta­di­um, Mara­bel­la, on Sat­ur­day and Sun­day (April 5 and 6).

This will be T&T's sixth host­ing of the Games af­ter hold­ing it for the first time in 1973. Pri­or to that T&T host­ed the re­gion­al pre­mier ju­nior track and field event in 1987, 1991, 1998, 2003, and 2005. This year's Games will be the 52nd edi­tion. There were Games in 2020 and 2021 be­cause of the Covid-19 pan­dem­ic.
