Trinidad and To­ba­go closed out the third and fi­nal day of the 52nd Carif­ta Games with two gold medals from 800 me­tres run­ner Brion Scott and hep­tathlon ath­lete Tenique Vin­cent at the Hase­ly Craw­ford Sta­di­um in Mu­cu­rapo on Mon­day night.

The day’s tal­ly of two gold, one sil­ver and five bronze medals helped the host to fin­ish with 25 medals (9 gold, 6 sil­ver and 10 bronze).

Vin­cent, who led the girls’ open hep­tathlon from day one, com­plet­ed her sweep of the sev­en-dis­ci­pline event with a to­tal of 5053 points, near­ly 400 more than her clos­est com­peti­tor. She dom­i­nat­ed across the board—100 me­tres hur­dles, high jump, shot put, 200 me­tres, long jump.

Javelin throw and 800 me­tres —leav­ing no doubt that the gold medal be­longs to the red, white, and black af­ter two days of com­pe­ti­tion for the event. Clemen­tine Carias of Guade­loupe (4701) se­cured the sil­ver, while the Ba­hamas’ Aaliyah Evans (4625) claimed bronze.

Trinidad and To­ba­go’s sec­ond gold of the day came from Brion Scott in the boys’ U17 800 me­tres run. He out­paced the Ja­maicans in the fi­nal 200 me­ters to cross the line first in 1:56.48 sec­onds, ahead of Luke Plum­mer (1:58.13) and Yohance Car­ty (1:58.16). Fel­low T&T ath­lete Dar­i­on White­man just missed out on a podi­um spot, fin­ish­ing fourth in 1:59.23.

The medal count for T&T be­gan in the morn­ing ses­sion with Michal Paul earn­ing bronze in the boys’ U20 long jump, leap­ing 7.03m. Ja­maica dom­i­nat­ed the event, with Amani Phillips (7.49m) and Michael Gra­ham (7.33m) tak­ing gold and sil­ver.

Mean­while, Vin­cent kept her hep­tathlon mo­men­tum alive with a strong per­for­mance in the long jump, cov­er­ing 5.55 me­tres, head­ing in­to the fi­nal two events with a com­fort­able lead.

The af­ter­noon ses­sion saw a se­ries of fi­nals, and T&T was in the mix through­out the fi­nal day’s pro­gramme. In the girls’ U20 dis­cus throw, Adri­an­na Quam­i­na came close to a medal but set­tled for fourth with a best throw of 47.11 me­tres. Team­mate Ruth Irvine was fifth at 43.25m. The podi­um be­longed to An­nae Mack­ey (Ba­hamas), Shamoyea Mor­ris (Ja­maica), and Mar­la-Kay Lam­part (Ja­maica).

In the sprint hur­dles, there were no medals for T&T. Zari­ah Pas­call placed sixth (15.03) and Khe­myah An­der­son eighth (15.86) in the girls’ U17 100m hur­dles. Gi­an­na Paul, the reign­ing and new long jump cham­pi­on, fin­ished sev­enth (14.25) in the girls’ U20 100m hur­dles event. In the boys’ U17 110m hur­dles, Omari Brown false-start­ed, and De­vonte Romeo placed sixth (15.33). Cheyne West was sixth (14.16) in the boys’ U20 110m hur­dles, in a race where Ja­maica’s Shaquane Gor­don set a new Carif­ta record of 13.19.

A bronze medal from Shi­an Lewis in the girls’ U17 800m (2:15.03) helped reignite Team TTO’s medal charge, fol­lowed im­me­di­ate­ly by Brion Scott’s gold in the boys’ U17 800m.

In the boys’ U20 800m, Keer­an Sriskan­dara­jah gave a gut­sy per­for­mance but placed fourth (1:52.21), just out­side the medal po­si­tions.

In the girls’ U20 200 me­tres, Sole Fred­er­ick added a sil­ver to the tal­ly when she crossed sec­ond in a very fast race and clocked 23.43 sec­onds, nar­row­ly edged out by Ja­maica’s Shanoya Dou­glas (23.02). Her twin sis­ter, Sanaa Fredrick, was close be­hind in fifth (23.46). Sab­ri­na Dock­ery of Ja­maica took bronze in 23.45.

In the boys’ U17 200m fi­nal, Alex Seep­er­sad placed sixth in 22.27, with the podi­um tak­en by ath­letes from the Ba­hamas, BVI, and Bar­ba­dos.

The girls’ U17 4x400 me­tres re­lay team of Kyah Hyson, Eden Chee-Wah, Durlaina Rouse, and Shi­an Lewis clocked 3:47.25 to win bronze, bring­ing the day’s medal to­tal to six. Ja­maica (3:39.39) and the Ba­hamas (3:45.27) took gold and sil­ver.
