Sprint ace Nicholas Paul sprinted to the silver medal in the men's keirin final and secured his second medal at the Pan American Elite Track Cycling Championships in Paraguay on Thursday.
Later, T&T's lanky endurance rider Teniel Campbell secured the bronze medal in the women's elimination final.
In a hotly contested final, Paul, who once held the title of the fastest man on wheels, executed perfectly in the latter part of the race when the derny left the track, but he could not stop Colombia's Kevin Quintero Chavarro from crossing the finish line first.
Paul secured the silver medal and Canada's Nick Wammes took the bronze. Another Canadian Ryan Dodyk was fourth while the Argentine pair of Oscar Lucas Vilar and Juan Bautista Rodriguez completed the top six in positions fifth and sixth respectively.
Earlier, Paul was paired with his countryman, former four-time Olympian Njisane Phillip in heat two of two in the semifinal and produced a workman-like performance that took him all the way to the victory for a final berth.
Phillip though, appeared to have been well-positioned when the derney left the track, but seemed to have negotiated his move too late and found himself in a boxed-in position which afforded him the fourth-place finish which was not sufficient to take him to the final.
On Wednesday, Paul and Phillip teamed up with Ryan D’Abreau to win T&T's first medal at the Championships, gold in the men's team sprint.
Meanwhile, women's sprint queen Makaira Wallace reached the quarterfinal of the match sprint before being dumped out by Sarah Orban of Canada in two rides.
Wallace, who recently shattered the local sprint record in only her first foray at the UCI Track Nations Cup in Konya, Turkey last month with a time of 10.784 was at her absolute best earlier in the day by disposing of Cuba's Keila Leal in the 1/16 round.
Before that, she caused eyebrows to rise in the qualifying sprints with a time of 11.341, while her compatriot Phoebe Sandy progressed from an 11.595 time in the flying 200-metre sprints to a classy victory over Valentina Mendez in the 1/16 round.
However, Sandy was later beaten in the 1/8 round by Colombia's Lorena Cuadrado.
