Machel Cedenio in Carifta 68
By Kwame Laurence (Express).


Five reigning Carifta champions are among 68 athletes selected to represent Trinidad and Tobago at the April 19-21 Carifta Games, in Martinique.

Machel Cedenio will defend his boys’ under-20 400 metres title, and Akeem Marshall will do the same in the boys’ under-20 5,000m event.

Three 2013 under-17 gold medallists will compete in the under-18 category this year. For the first time, the regional junior track and field championships will have under-18 competition, in keeping with the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) practice.

Jeminise Parris, the girls’ under-17 300m hurdles champion, has been selected for duty in the girls’ under-18 100m hurdles and 400m hurdles events. Chelsea James, a two-time girls’ under-17 shot put winner, will compete in the under-18 shot put and discus. And Andwuelle Wright, the 2012 and 2013 boys’ under-17 long jump gold medallist, is listed for action in the under-18 long jump.

The T&T team for Carifta 2014 also includes talented sprinters Jonathan Farinha and Adell Colthrust, England-based middle-distance runner Nicholas Landeau, and javelin thrower Shakeil Waithe, who is training in Cuba with Olympic champion Keshorn Walcott and shot putter Cleopatra Borel.

Carifta athletes impress at 13th Falcon Games (http://www.guardian.co.tt/sport/2014-04-15/carifta-athletes-impress-13th-falcon-games)
Published: Tuesday, April 15, 2014
Clayton Clarke (T&T Guardian)


Several of T&T’s Carifta Games hopefuls rounded into form ahead of next week’s Carifta Games in Martinique with personal best performances.
 
Reigning two-time Carifta gold medallist Chelsea James (Tobago Falcons) signalled she is ready for the region’s premier meet for young athletes with a personal best throw in the girls under-18 shot put and discus events.
 
On the first day of the 13th annual THA/Blink B Mobile Falcon Games at the Hasely Crawford Stadium on Saturday, James improved her mark in the shot to 15.38 metres. Her previous best of 15.19 was recorded in a gold medal performance at the Secondary Schools Championships on March 18.
 
James, 16, returned to attain a new standard in the discus with a distance of 41.61 metres eclipsing the 40.24 achieved in winning the Tobago Schools title on February 12.
 
The Signal Hill Secondary School fifth former won the girls under-17 shot put titles at the 2012 and 2013 Carifta Games improving the record on each occasion and will be going for more gold in Maritnique.
 
Akidah Briggs (Toco Titans) produced her best mark ever in the girls under-18 javelin, winning with 38.86, (5cm) better than her previous best achieved at the Carifta trials on March 16.
 
Asha James (Zenith) took the runner up spot (35.61m). Briggs won bronze in the Carifta girls under-17 event in 2011 and silver in 2012. Both are TTO’s representatives in the event in Martinique. Briggs was also second on James in the shot put (14.18).
 
Tyriq Horsford (Zenith) improved his mark in the boys under-18 javelin with a third round effort of 62.21 to take the top spot. Horsford’ four legal efforts (56.63, 59.29, 62.21 and 57.40) were better than his club-mate Vondel Joseph who was second with 54.47.
 
Defending boys under-20 5000 metres champion Akeem Marshall (Toco Titans) lowered his pb to 15:52.67 when he finished second in the men’s run which took the field 12 and half times over the 400 metres track. Matthew Hagley (TTDF) took the top spot (15:48.65).
 
Akanni Hislop (Zenith) sped a new personal record in the boys under -18 100 metres sprint getting to the line in 10.76 (+0.1) with Carifta team-mate Joash Huggins (Dovers) in second (11.09).
 
In the heats Hislop was even quicker stopping the clock at 10.73(+2.8 ). World Junior and Youth semifinalist Reubin Walters equalled his pb in winning the boys under -20 110m hurdles.
 
The Memphis Pioneers cleared the ten barriers in 13.66 metres to match the mark he established in winning bronze at last year’s Carifta Games in the Bahamas. Aaron Lewis (Zenith) was second, also in a pb of 14.01. Walters and Lewis will represent TTO in boys under-20 110m and 400 hurdles in Martinique.
 
Another Memphis athlete Jeminise Parris took the girls under-18 100m hurdles in 13.88 seconds to match the personal best clocking she did at the Carifta trials on March 15.
 
On the first day the St Francois Girls College student secured the 400m hurdles and will seeking a similar double in Martinique.
 
Akoya Cummings (Neon Trackers) produced a strong finish to take the women’s 400m in a pb of 55.86 passing the American duo of Najah Floyd (56.00) and Chana Powel-Vinson (56.17) in the last 80m.
 
Defending Carifta boys under 20 400m Machel Cedenio (Simplex) skipped the meet while boys under 20 javelin hopeful Shaquille Waithe (Rebirth) is currently training in Cuba with Olympic men’s javelin champion Keshorn Walcott.
 
Fourteen-year-old sprint wonder Adell Colthrust (Southern Athletics) did not compete in an individual event.
 
Trinidad and Tobago will be represented by 68 athletes at this year's Carifta Games. The team will have its final meeting on Tuesday April 15 at the Hasely Crawford Stadium from 8am before heading out to Martinique on Thursday April 17.
 
The Carifta Games begin on Friday April 18 with the Opening Ceremony to be followed by three days of action from Saturday April 19 to Monday April 21.
 
The national contingent will be seeking to improve on its 20 medal haul at the 2013 edition in the Bahamas and better the record 40 medals won at the 2010 Carifta Games in the Cayman Islands.

Title: CARIFTA Preview - Quarter mile journey

CARIFTA Preview - Quarter mile journey (http://www.trackalerts.com/Articles/carifta-preview-quarter-mile-journey/12208/)
By Noel ‘Bravo’ Francis, Special to TrackAlerts.com

April 16th 10:42am

The resurgence in quarter-mile running in the Caribbean is well underway with Bahamas, Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago leading the way. As the CARIFTA games approaches, we now look at some exciting prospects in this feature.

Under-20 Boys 400m

Trinidad & Tobago’s Machel Cedenio is without doubt the class athlete in this event. He has won 400m titles in the Under-17 and Under-20 age group over the years. Cedenio is the defending champion in this event after a thrilling victory over rising star Javon Francis of Jamaica and Stephen Newbold of Bahamas. His winning time of 45.93 seconds remains his personal best.

At the T&T trials, Cedenio won comfortably in 46.27 seconds with his typical late burst in the home straight. His multi-talented teammate Asa Guevara who is also a fine hurdler will provide Cedenio with good support. Guevara finished fifth last year in the finals, and ran 47.49 seconds at the T&T trials to book his spot in this event.

The Trinidadians should receive stiff competition from one of Jamaica’s most promising quarter-milers this season, Nathon Allen. Allen announced himself to Jamaican track fans at the CARIFTA trials with a blazing run covering the one-lap event in a personal best of 46.11 seconds. Two weeks later Allen came a respectable second (46.16) in that amazing race where Javon Francis (45.00) obliterated Usain Bolt’s Class 1 400m record (45.35).

Allen’s St. Jago High School teammate Ivan Henry ran 46.54 for second at the trials, however, he faded badly to last at ‘Champs’ in 48.51 seconds. He might have to prove his race sharpness in training to get the nod over Marco Doodnaughtsingh or the multi-talented Okeen Williams.

Bahamas traditionally have good quarter-milers; however, the times at the Bahamas trials were not flattering. Therefore, Janeko Cartwright and Kelson Pierre will need to bring their ‘A’ games to be amongst the medals. Sadly, Jerrad Mason one of Barbados’ best quarter-milers will be missing after false starting at the trials triggering his omission from the team. Will Cedenio close out his illustrious CARIFTA career in glory? It should be a great final like last year.

Under-18 Boys 400m

World Youth Champion at 400m Martin Manley is set to dominate this field. Manley was a double winner (200m/400m) in the Under-17 category at CARIFTA last year and has a personal best of 45.89 seconds over 400m. He coasted to victory at the Jamaica CARIFTA trials in 46.51 seconds and despite not competing over that distance at ‘Champs’ seems to be in good condition to run very fast.

Manley’s teammate Nathaniel Bann (47.24 PB) if passed fit could provide Jamaica with the silver medal. Jamaica also has another quality quarter-miler in Nigel Ellis who ran (47.45) at the CARIFTA trials who is more than capable to provide support for Manley if selected.

Last year fans witnessed a great Under-17 400m final when Kinard Rolle of Bahamas ran a blistering 350m before the tactical Martin Manley who silenced a vociferous home crowd overhauled him to win in 47.72 seconds.

It is not certain if Rolle who got silver in 48.05 will only be doing relay duties this year, as Henri Deluze (47.94) and Samson Colebrooke (48.69) who performed on the day at the trials could represent Bahamas instead. Other possible finalists for this event should come from, Jason Yaw of Guyana with a 47.76 personal best, Kashief King (48.41) of T&T and Bajan quarter-miler Ramarco Thompson who ran a personal best of 48.34 earlier in the season. 

Under-18 Girls 400m

This event is shaping up to be a cracker. Exciting Bajan runner Sada Williams who dominated the 200m/400m at the Barbadian Secondary Schools comes to the games with high credentials. She easily won the trials in 54.99 seconds and a few weeks later established a new record (54.04) in the Under-20 section of the Barbados Secondary Schools Championships. She won both events by almost two seconds and will get some real competition at the CARIFTA games to test her pedigree.

Jamaica’s Tiffany James will certainly test Williams’ readiness in this event. James, who won the 400m Under-17 CARIFTA title last year before going on to claim bronze at the 2013 IAAF World Youth Championships, is in spanking form this season. She defeated a quality field to win the CARIFTA trials in 53.76 seconds and followed with an outstanding victory in the pressure-filled atmosphere at ‘Champs’ in 54.19 seconds. Both Williams and James are champions and probably hate to lose which makes for a very exciting showdown for track fans in this event.

A few returning finalists from the Under-17 category could spice up this event. Bahamian pair Doneisha Anderson who won bronze and sixth place finisher Shaquana Dorsette must not be underestimated. Dorsett won the Bahamas CARIFTA trials in 54.79 beating Anderson.

Tarika ‘Tinker Bell’ Moses of British Virgin Islands last year’s silver medal winner who survived an injury scare at the trials has been selected. Jamaica’s other entrant should be newcomer Taqece Duggan who finished second to Tiffany James at the CARIFTA trials in 54.73 and at ‘Champs’ in the Class 2 final in 54.70. Who will it be, Williams or James?

BOYS UNDER 20
 
100m

Jonathan Farinha is one of contenders for gold. Despite competing in his first serious 100m competition when he lined up at the Carifta trials he scorched the track at the Hasely Crawford Stadium with a barely wind aided (2.2) 10.18. The Abilene Wildcats will be looking to win T&T’s first medal since 2008 when Joel Dillon was third and this country’s first gold since Darryl Brown’s victory at the Hasely Crawford Stadium in 2003. Farinha is better known for his 200m running with his lanky, long strides. However, could he did what world record holder Usain Bolt did at the 2008 Beijing-defy the odds that tall men can excel at the 100m? Farinha’s path to gold is certainly not a given on as defending champion Zharnel Hughes of Anguilla and Jevaughn Minzie (Jamaica) who ran 10.12 and 10.16 to finish one-two at the Jamaican High School Championships. The national selectors may have a hard task choosing T&T’s other representative in the event as Micah Ballantyne beat John Mark Constantine for second at the Carifta trials 10.64 to 10.72 but Constantine sped to 10.56 in the semifinals.
 
2013-7th Constantine (10.72). Semis-11th Ayodelle Taffe 10.82

200m
Farinha is expected to feature among the medals in this his favored event. The Queens Royal College student will be aiming to improve on his sixth place in last year’s finals. The 2013 World Youth fifth place finisher will no doubt be looking to add gold to the under 17 title he won in 2012. The Arima resident will be hoping to put T&T on the top of podium since Marc Burn’s win in the Bahamas in 2002. Farinha will be joined by club-mate Asa Guevera who clocked 21.14w at last’s weekend’s Falcon Games.

Machel Cedenio is the overwhelming favorite to take retain his title after his grabbed gold one year ago producing a strong finish to clock 45.93. The Simplex athlete qualified for Martinique taking the Carifta trials title in 46.27. Since his trials victory Cedenio has been training in the US preparing for his title defence. Guevera would be aiming to improve on his fifth place finish last year and join Cedenio on the podium.

Nicholas Landeau will be looking to follow in the footsteps of Mark London and return the title to T&T after London’s triumph in 2013. The 2010 boys under 17 1500 and 3000m champion has been based in the UK for the past two years and spent some time training in Kenya among some of the world’s best distance runner. The Air Bon Sonics competitor will have rely on his over distance strength to win T&T’s third gold in a row and seven in the last nine years. Ashton Gill is making his Carifta debut. The Cougars athlete’s speed could ensure he gets a medal.

110m hurdles
Ruebin Walters was one of several Carifta bound athletes who set personal bests at the Falcon Games. The Memphis Pioneers clocked 13.66 to match the time he ran to take bronze in 2012. Walters will be aiming to to win gold for T&T since Jehue Gordon in 2010. The CAC Junior champion will be looking to break Gordon’s Carifta record of 13.41. Aaron Lewis set pb of 14.01 behind Walters last weekend and will have to dip below 14 seconds to content for medal.

Title: T&T CARIFTA team leaves for Martinique today!

TT CARIFTA team leaves for Martinique (http://www.newsday.co.tt/sport/0,193498.html)
By JOEL BAILEY Thursday, April 17 2014 (T&T Newsday)

DEXTER VOISIN is simply expecting the best from the 68 Trinidad and Tobago athletes, who will be participating in the CARIFTA Track and Field Championships in Martinique, from Saturday until Monday.


The Trinidad and Tobago contingent are expected to leave for the French-speaking island at 10 am today.

Voisin, the team manager, stated in a telephone interview yesterday, “basically, because of the nature of this meet being a developmental meet in the NAAA programme, we expect the athletes to go there and do their best, based on their preparation they have been going through for the past couple months.

“Once they go out there and perform to their best, then in terms of medals, then we’ll be very satisfied,” he continued.

The team will feature a few performers who have copped gold in previous CARIFTA meets, including 2013 boys Under-20 400-metre champ Machel Cedenio, Akeem Marshall (2013 boys Under-20 5,000m champ), Jeminise Parris and Chelsea James.

“We have Machel Cedenio,” said Voisin. “We have in our midst a veteran in CARIFTA, Nicholas Landeau. This will be his fifth trip to the CARIFTA Games. He migrated to London a year ago and he is also one of the athletes that will be expected to lead the contingent.”

Other athletes tipped to lead the way are javelin thrower Shakeil Waithe and sprinter Jonathan Farinha. “Based on the preparation that we’ve been doing for the past three weeks, they are expected to lead the team,” Voisin noted.

Accept no spin from the spinners, post-Games.

The ONLY team that is supposed to beat us at Carifta, in any year, ever, is Jamaica.

If Bahamas or any other country does, it will indicate a continued decline (the one they seem to think doesn't exist, despite declining medals every single year for about five years). Last year we were third, as I recall.

Full agreement. I just checked and from a high of 40 medals in 2010 we have declined every year since to a total of just 20 last year with 8 golds.

I think we should be targeting a total of 40 medals at 2014 Carifta Games (or at least half of Jamaica's target total) with hopefully at latest 15 to 20 of those medals being gold.
Do you think this target is realistic given our Carifta T&F Team athletes personnel this year?

CARIFTA PREVIEW - Around the Bend (http://www.trackalerts.com/Articles/carifta-preview-around-the-bend/12203/)
By Noel "Bravo" Francis, Special to TrackAlerts.com
April 15th 10:41am


As we continue our countdown feature towards the CARIFTA games, we now look at a few of the exciting half-lap showdowns.

Under-20 boys 200m

This event will feature a number of athletes who are all capable of running below 21 seconds. Last year’s silver medallist Jevaughn Minzie from Jamaica is a different beast this year and will be going for the gold medal that has been eluding him for years.

Minzie registered two fast times at ‘Champs’, a personal best of 20.37 in the semi-finals and 20.50 seconds to win gold. His more illustrious teammate, World Youth Champion Michael O’Hara is seeking redemption after missing last year’s games and placing third at ‘Champs’. He ran a personal best of 20.60 in the semi-finals at ‘Champs’ and 20.86 for the bronze medal running out of lane eight. Jamaicans felt disappointed by last year’s results in this particular event, as Odail Todd another strong medal hopeful did not finish the race. Both Minzie and O’Hara are determined to restore pride this year.

Trinidad & Tobago’s Jonathan Farinha, a fifth place finisher to O’Hara at the World Youth Championships last year in Ukraine, is an improved sprinter and could challenge the Jamaicans for the gold medal. Bajan sprinter Levi Cadogan who ran a personal best of 20.72 seconds to win the Barbados CARIFTA trials could pose a serious challenge for his more fancied opponents.

Additionally, an exciting yet humble Bahamian sprinter in Steven Gardiner has emerged on the scene this year. Gardiner established a new Bahamian national junior record of 20.68 seconds and could make a lasting impression at the CARIFTA games. His amazing feat is special for the mere fact that he resides in a remote part of the island in Bahamas that does not have a proper running facility. The exposure at the games will be very good for Gardiner. Who will wear the crown in this big 200m showdown? Will Zhanrnel Hughes of Anguilla run the double?

Under-18 Boys 200m

Jamaica has a number of talented sprinters to choose from for this half-lap event. Martin Manley the Under-17 200m champion at CARIFTA last year has been lowering his times almost every time he steps on the track. He posted an impressive personal best of 20.57 seconds at ‘Champs’ in the Class 1 200m semi-finals and ran 20.73 in the finals for silver. His high school teammate and the CARIFTA trials winner, Chad Walker has the ability to crack 21 seconds.

Whilst the exciting Jhevaughn Matherson who ran 20.97 seconds to win the Class 2 title at ‘Champs’ is in the Jamaican squad and available for selection. Raheem Chambers another fine sprinter with a personal best of 21.19 seconds is also eligible. Some Caribbean countries would love to have a selection quandary like this.

Impressive Bajan sprinter Mario Burke, last year’s silver medallist behind Manley is one of the few athletes in this age group capable of preventing Jamaica from claiming the top two spots. Burke who won the Barbados CARIFTA trials in a fast 21.17 seconds will relish the Jamaican challenge to go faster than his personal best of 21.06 seconds. Bahamian sprinters Keanu Pennerman and Kinard Rolle have a never say die attitude and will be running flat out for a medal. Let us hope they do not hurt themselves in the process.

Under-20 Girls 200m

The talented Shaunae Miller of Bahamas and Shericka Jackson of Jamaica both ran under the previous record last year in this event. Miller established a new mark of 22.77 seconds that I believe might stand for some time. Both Miller and Jackson have graduated from CARIFTA, which has left this event wide open this year. Carmiesha Cox the bronze medallist from last year is also absent. Trinidad & Tobago’s Kayelle Clarke a returning finalist who was sixth last year must be confident of winning a medal this year. Clarke won this event at the T&T trials running 23.64 seconds into a negative (-1.6) headwind.

However, Jamaica will pose the biggest threat and the country’s head coach can choose any two from the wonderful trio in Kedisha Dallas, Saqukine Cameron and Jonielle Smith who are all capable of winning medals in this event. Dallas was fifth in the Under-20 200m final last year, and finished second at this year’s trials in 24.03 seconds. After running 23.75 in the semi-finals, she registered 23.95 seconds in the finals at the Inter-Collegiate Track & Field meet racing into a negative (-3.7) headwind.

Cameron won the Jamaica trials in 23.44 seconds and was second at ‘Champs’ in 23.58 to Jonielle Smith. On her day, Cameron is a fantastic athlete but can be inconsistent at times. Despite a lukewarm display at the CARIFTA trials, Smith bounced back in convincing fashion at ‘Champs’ winning the Class 1 event in 23.45 seconds into a negative (-2.7) headwind. She could force the selection panel to enter her in the event based on her championship mettle and current form. Jamaicans are confident in the decision-making capabilities of the management team. 

Under-18 Girls 200m

Jamaica’s Natalliah Whyte last year’s Under-17 sprint double champion should feature prominently is this event. She has been in tremendous form this season winning the big 200m races at the CARIFTA trials and ‘Champs’. At the Boys & Girls Championships, she ran an impressive 23.82 seconds in the semi-finals and cruised to 24.30 in the finals into a strong headwind after her main challenger Shauna Helps had false started.

Two of Whyte’s main competitors in this event are last year’s Under-17 200m silver medallist Jenae Ambrose of Bahamas and fourth place finisher Nelda Huggins of the British Virgin Islands (BVI). Huggins clocked 24.65 seconds into a negative (-2.4) at the BVI trials and is usually a competitive finalist at the CARIFTA games.

Barbadian newcomer Sada Williams could steal the show if nerves do not overcome her. She won the Bajan Under-18 trials in 24.38 seconds easily dismissing the challenge of Tristan Evelyn. However, it was her stunning 23.61 seconds display at the Barbados Secondary Schools Championships two weeks later, which makes her a serious contender for the gold medal. I hope Guyana’s Tirana Mitchell who collected bronze last year in the Under-17 200m event has fully recovered from an injury picked up last season.

Apart from Whyte, Jamaica has enough firepower to challenge for two of the top spots. Whyte’s Jamaican teammates Shellece Clark and Shanice Reid are two quality athletes. Clark who placed second at the trials in 24.46 seconds would be seeking redemption this year after her shocking false start in the Under-17 200m finals last year.

The tall and determined Reid who was second to Whyte at ‘Champs’ in 24.45 seconds running into a (-2.7) negative breeze is also a fierce competitor. Will the Bajan Williams triumph in her first CARIFTA games? A nice battle in the home straight looms. I am really looking forward to this race. 

Look out for more previews

If Bahamas or any other country does, it will indicate a continued decline (the one they seem to think doesn't exist, despite declining medals every single year for about five years). Last year we were third, as I recall.

I totally agree. I was so disappointed in last year performance. Then that 3 ladies race without a Trini girl particpating. That was totally ridiculous.
Title: Carifta Games Preview - Relays Fever

Carifta Games Preview - Relays Fever (http://www.trackalerts.com/Articles/garifta-games-preview-relays-fever/12214/)
By Noel 'Bravo' Francis, Special to TrackAlerts.com
April 18th 1:49am


Over the last six years, the Caribbean has dominated sprint relays and featured prominently in the mile relays at the senior level on the international stage. Today we feature some of the most intense junior rivalries in the Caribbean that will come head-to-head at the CARIFTA games (selected events).

Under-18 Boys 4x400m

Jamaica won all but two relay events at the CARIFTA games last year. The setbacks came in the boys Under-17 4x400m and the girls Under-20 4x100m finals. The new boys’ Under-18 category will see the retention of most team members with a few additions. Bahamas ran a brilliant race in front of their home crowd last year to win the Under-17 4x400m relay ahead of Barbados and Jamaica.

The three countries lock horns again this year and another exciting 4x400m showdown is likely. The Bahamian squad is the same from last year and very confident of winning the gold, likewise Barbados who have the same quartet. However, it is my view that things will be different this year with a much stronger Jamaican unit seeking revenge.

I cannot see a scenario where Jamaica will make the same mistake of using the two best runners (Martin Manley and Jaheel Hyde) on the first two legs and a middle distance runner like what happened last year with Jauavney James on anchor ever happening again. Unless injury forced that decision last year at the last minute, it was a shocking team arrangement evidenced by a disastrous run. This year there should be no such confusion as Jamaica’s head coach can choose a super quartet from Nathaniel Bann, Martin Manley, Nigel Ellis, Jaheel Hyde and Duran Crooks. This team should start as favourites and any running order should win by some distance and erase the bitter memory that still lingers among some Jamaican fans. 

Bahamas will not surrender easily and should provide a spirited challenge throughout. Whilst a Bajan quartet that includes Rivaldo Leacock, Ramarco Thompson, Michael Nicholls and Mario Burke could run below 3:15.00 and collect a medal.

Under-20 Girls 4x100m

Bahamas captured this event last year in 44.77 seconds winning by almost a second over runners-up Barbados. Many persons expected a classic showdown between Bahamas and Jamaica; however, it failed to materialize as Jamaica’s second and third leg runners could not successfully complete the baton exchange. This year will see a few changes in all the teams and a massive showdown is expected. The Bahamians have retained Devynne Charlton and Kieanna Albury from the winning quartet. Makeya White and Loushanya Neymour could form the other half of the team. Barbados might struggle to find a competitive team this year.

Jamaica with a possible quartet of Saqukine Cameron, Jonielle Smith, Kedisha Dallas and Chanice Bonner in running order will be seeking redemption. Although she did not compete in the sprints at the Jamaica CARIFTA trials, this writer feels the long striding Claudette Allen is one of the most impressive backstretch runners who could add depth to the squad. She has done extremely well for her school Edwin Allen in four record-breaking 4x100m races this season. At the end of this article, please watch video of Allen outstanding run at ‘Champs’ 2014. If Allen is eligible for selection, Jonielle Smith could replace Bonner on anchor. Will Bahamas defend their title against the odds?

Under-18 Boys 4x100m

I expect this super Under-18 Jamaica quartet to not only win convincingly but also run as fast as the fastest Under-20 team at the games. Despite retaining three members of the winning Under-17 4x100m team, only Raheem Chambers is likely to be included on the team this year. The team has four outstanding speed merchants and if the baton goes around smoothly, a sub 40 seconds clocking is highly possible. The battle for silver and bronze should be very close between Barbados and Bahamas for a second year running. Do not miss this event and remember these Jamaican names Waseem Williams, Chad Walker, Jhevaughn Matherson and Raheem Chambers.

Under-20 boys 4x400m

Last year Jamaica won this event with the outstanding Javon Francis on anchor. Francis after collecting the baton in third place ran past T&T’s Machel Cedenio and Bahamian Andre Colebrooke to take Jamaica to the title and a new record 3:05.68. The departure of three key members (Francis included) from the Jamaica team effectively makes this encounter a lot closer this year among the countries. T&T with a squad that includes Machel Cedenio, Asa Guevara, Theon Lewis, Ruebin Walters, Aaron Lewis and Nathan Farinha looks very strong.

Jamaica despite fielding a brand new team this year is still capable of defending its title. The team should come from a pool that includes Nathon Allen, Ivan Henry, Marco Doodnaughtsingh, Okeen Williams, Marvin Williams and Jevaughn Minzie.

Both Jamaica and T&T dipped under the previous record 3:07.10 last year, Jamaica won in 3:05.68 and T&T got silver in 3:06.23. I expect both countries to go very close to those times in what could be a super final. Bahamas will be competitive in the initial stages, however, they lack the necessary firepower this year to challenge the top two in the latter stages.

Under-20 Boys 4x100m

Last year Bahamas, just like Jamaica, in the female section failed to finish this relay that was highly touted between the two countries. Trinidad & Tobago last year’s silver medal winner is likely to field a quartet consisting of Jonathan Farinha, Micah Ballentyne, John-Mark Constantine and Jamal Bridges. This team can pose a strong challenge to the Bahamians and Jamaicans. Last year T&T led the field in the home straight before Jamaica overtook them, courtesy of a blazing anchor leg run from Odail Todd. 

Bahamas will be seeking redemption after last year’s disaster. They have retained two members from last year in Cliff Resias and Ian Kerr. Deedro Clarke and Steven Gardiner two exciting prospects should join them to make a formidable unit. However, it is my view that a Jamaican quartet in the following running order will be very difficult to beat: 1) Raheem Robinson, 2) Michael O’Hara, 3) Tyler Mason and 4) Jevaughn Minzie. Track fans are in for a treat as bragging rights are at an all-time high.

Conclusion

Jamaica is set to retain its CARIFTA title in the French island of Martinique on April 21, 2014. Bahamas has always expressed its intention of dethroning Jamaica and the same objectives are on the table this year. Some Jamaicans feel it is a desire, which is easier said than done. The fans argue that Jamaica has not lost a CARIFTA games since 1985 and their stocks of quality athletes does not seem to be depleting anytime soon.

Last year Bahamas won 31 medals in total, whilst Jamaica’s gold medal tally of 29 almost cancelled out Bahamas’ overall count. Jamaica went on to win officially 69 medals overall inclusive of 29 gold, 25 silver and 15 bronze. Therefore, the fans believe the margin of quality athletes and performances from Jamaica at this time are much wider than some persons are willing to accept.

I hope to see an injury free and exciting 2014 CARIFTA games. Good luck to all the athletes.

Cedenio, Farinha bid for Carifta honours (http://www.trinidadexpress.com/sports/Time-to-bleed-255832111.html)

Machel Cedenio and Jonathan Farinha will fly the flag for Trinidad and Tobago on the opening day of the Carifta Games, in Fort de France, Martinique, today. Cedenio will bid to retain his boys’ under-20 400 metres title, while Farinha battles for honours in the boys’ under-20 100m dash.
Reigning century champion Zharnel Hughes clocked 10.12 seconds to strike gold at the Boys’ and Girls’ Athletics Championships, in Jamaica last month. However, the Anguillan hurt his hamstring and opted out of the 200m final.
Farinha, who clocked a wind-assisted 10.18 at Carifta trials, is sure to be a contender for precious metal in today’s boys’ under-20 100m event. Hughes, though, if fit to compete, will undoubtedly be the favourite for gold. But, as National Association of Athletics Administrations (NAAA) president Ephraim Serrette noted, medals are earned on the day of the event.
“If somebody runs a time in Boys’ Champs, they need to come and run that time in Martinique because we all start over at zero. So you don’t go in with this fear that somebody would have done 10.1 or 20-point or whatever. ‘’Based on the results coming out of the trials we had and the other events--even up to last weekend at Falcon Games-- I think the athletes are well prepared. We should see a better showing of the team.’’
At Carifta 2013, in Bahamas, T&T earned eight gold medals, two silver and ten bronze to finish third.
‘’This is the largest team we’re taking outside of Trinidad and Tobago,’’ said Serrette. ‘’We started off with 69. We’re now at 67. Two athletes got injured.’’
Serrette added that on Tuesday, Jehue Gordon, T&T’s reigning world champion in the men’s 400m hurdles, gave the Carifta team a motivational speech. ‘’He held court with the young athletes. And I remember his last words: ‘You need to bleed red, white and black’’’.
Chelsea James will bid for a hat-trick of titles today when she competes in the girls’ under-18 shot put. Also wearing T&T colours will be middle-distance runner Nicholas Landeau. The England-based athlete bids for honours in the boys’ under-20 1500m.
Among the other standouts on the T&T team are defending boys’ under-20 5,000m champion Akeem Marshall, 2013 girls’ under-17 300m hurdles gold medallist Jeminise Parris, two-time boys’ under-17 long jump champion Andwuelle Wright, and thrower Shakeil Waithe. At the Carifta trials, Waithe produced a big 72.15 metres throw to win the boys’ under-20 javelin.

The 18-year-old Simplex sprinter qualified for this year’s Carifta meet with a time of 46.27 at the Carifta trials in March. The lanky Presentation College/San Fernando student has been training in the US since his victory at the trials. The boys under 20 400m heats are set for 11.05 am with the finals carded for 6.45 pm. Asa Guevera is this country’s other entrant. The 2012 World Junior bronze medallist will be looking to improve on his fifth place in last year’s finals.

Jonathan Farinha will bid for gold in the boys under 20 100m. The Queen’s Royal College student won the event at the Carifta trials in a wind aided time of 10.18. However, there are reports that he has been recovering a leg injury. The heats of the boys under 20 100m are set for 10.05 am with the semis (5 pm) and the finals (8 pm). Micah Ballantyne will be vie for gold.

The first medal for TT could come in the first final of the day the boys under 20 discus where Kenejah Williams will be this country’s representative. Williams will be seeking to gold and improve on his eight place finish in 2013. The Tobago Falcons athlete won the boys under 17 title in 2011.

UK-based distance runner Nicholas Landeau will be seeking to end his Carifta campaign with a gold. The 2011 Boys under 17 1500m and 3000m champion will contest the boys under 20 1500m finals carded for 6.00 pm.

The Bemont Boys Secondary graduate fine tuned his preparation taking the men’s 1500m crown at the Falcons Games in 3:57.69. Trials winner Ashton Gill will make his Carifta debut.

James established a new personal best  of 41.61 at the Falcon Games. Last year’s bronze medallist Shaian Charles will also be contender for gold. James said she hopes to better her personal best throws. “This year I am going there just to do my best. My personal best at the Falcon Games really boosted my confidence because I hope to go out there and throw about 16 metres (in the shot put).”
 
Boys Under-20 Carifta champion Machel Cedenio will also defend his title later today. Cedenio took the 2012 title in the Bahamas finished strongly to take the gold in pb of 45.93, outdipping Jamaican Jevon Francis and home town favourite Stephen Newbold of the Bahamas.

Cedenio said, “I am going out there and do my best. I am going to try to defend my title, give it my all and have fun.” 
 
The World Youth and Junior finalist added that he may be trying a new race strategy. “Last year’s win was exciting but each year everybody gets better so some of the tactics I used last year may not work this year. So I have to change up my game. I will have to run hard the first part of the race and still come home strong.” Jonathan Farinha will bid for gold in the boys Under-20 100m. The Queen’s Royal College student won the event at the Carifta trials in a wind-aided time of 10.18. However, there are reports that he has been recovering a leg injury.

The lanky Abilene Wildcats competitor said all is in place for him to excel.
 
“So far everything has been well. It is just to come out and execute tomorrow (today). I am feeling good. I have not had a chance to run on the track though. I want to go out there with a proper mindset.” The first medal for T&T could come in the first final of the day the boys Under-20 discus where Kenejah Williams will this country’s representative.

Machel Cedenio retained his Carifta Games boys’ Under-20 400 metres title with the easiest of victories at the Stade P. Aliker, in Fort de France, Martinique, late yesterday.

Involved in a tight finish in Nassau, Bahamas, last year, Cedenio ensured there would be no anxious moments for the Trinidad and Tobago supporters, romping to victory in 45.95 seconds, for a huge cushion on silver medallist Nathon Allen (46.97) of Jamaica.

It was another T&T quartermiler who made the early running. Out in lane seven, Asa Guevara gave his heart and was well-placed for precious metal coming into the home straight. Cedenio, though, was strongest in the last quarter of the race.
Guevara, however, had the satisfaction of bagging bronze in 47.35.

“I feel good,” Cedenio declared, after the final, “making my country proud. This is my last Carifta so I just came here to have fun. I probably would have gone harder if there was a little more competition, but I am satisfied with my run.”
Cedenio opened the defence of his title with victory in the second of two qualifying heats, earlier in the day. He got home in 47.26 seconds to finish well ahead of Jamaican Ivan Henry (47.93).

Guevara was faster than Cedenio, copping third spot in the opening heat in 47.12, earning his championship race lane as a “fastest loser”.
Competing for the first time in two years in T&T colours, England-based Nicholas Landeau returned to national duty in style, seizing silver in the boys’ Under-20 1500m.

Landeau carried the pace in the first half of the race, making a bold front-running bid for gold. But Jamaican Chadoye Dawson seized control in the latter stages of the race.

Determined to get the gold, Landeau battled to line, getting home in three minutes, 58.27 seconds. Dawson, though, was faster, stopping the clock at 3:56.93 to clinch the title. Bronze went to Bermuda’s Dage Minors in 3:58.39.

Though satisfied to celebrate his T&T comeback with a podium finish, Landeau told the Express he was disappointed with how the race unfolded in the last 200 metres. He said he was elbowed by the eventual winner, and also claimed that Dawson stepped off the track.

Ayoka Cummings (56.83) and Shirnell Ettienne (58.10) were fourth and seventh, respectively, in the girls’ under-20 400m final.
And in the boys’ Under-18 400m championship race, Kashief King was eighth in 50.38 seconds.
After press time, last night, T&T sprinter Jonathan Farinha faced the starter in the boys’ Under-20 100m final.

In the semi-final round, Farinha finished third in heat three in a wind-assisted 10.30 seconds to advance to the final as a “fastest loser”. Jamaica’s Jevaughn Minzie won the heat in 10.14 to qualify fastest.

A notable non-starter in the century was Anguillan Zharnel Hughes. The reigning champion is nursing an injury and did not defend his title.
Kayelle Clarke earned automatic qualification for the girls’ Under-20 100m final when she finished second in the second qualifying heat in a wind-aided 11.44 seconds. Aaliyah Telesford was third in the opening heat in a windy 11.86, progressing to the championship race as a “fastest loser”.

Both Adell Colthrust and Akanni Hislop advanced to the boys’ Under-18 100m final via the “fastest loser” route. Hislop finished second in heat four in a wind-assisted 10.62 seconds, while Colthrust clocked a windy 10.70 for second spot in heat two.

Chelsea James secured silver in the girls’ Under-18 discus during the morning session. The T&T field athlete threw 43.53 metres, forcing Jamaica’s Devia Brown (43.31m) to settle for bronze. Gold went to another Jamaican, Janet Fullerton (46.47m).

Shaiann Charles, the other T&T representative in the event, finished seventh with a 34.40m effort.
T&T also earned bronze in the opening session, Portious Warren producing a 12.70m throw for third spot in the girls’ under-20 shot put. Jamaican Rochelle Frazer (13.63) and Antiguan Jess St John (13.26m) claimed gold and silver, respectively.
Warren’s teammate, Marielle Pierre (11.64m) was seventh in the event.

Tyriq Horsford finished just outside the medals in the boys’ Under-18 javelin. He threw 59.96m. Bronze medallist Travis Ferguson, of Bahamas, produced a 60.40m effort. The top two spots went to Grenada, Anderson Peters throwing 67.67m to edge his teammate, Mickel Joseph (67.23m) into second spot.

T&T athletes, Khemani Roberts and Anya Akile were eighth and 15th, respectively, in the girls’ under-18 high jump, clearing 1.60m and 1.55m.

James first medal for TT (http://www.newsday.co.tt/sport/0,193654.html)
Sunday, April 20 2014 (T&T Newsday)

CHELSEA James copped Trinidad and Tobago’s first medal on the opening morning of action at the 43rd Carifta Games at the Pierre Aliker Municipal Stadium, Fort de France yesterday.


James finished second in the girls under 18 discus finals with a personal best throw of 43.53m on the first finals of the three day regional meet. The Tobago Falcons athlete improved her previous best of 41.61 set at the Falcon Games at the Hasely Crawford Stadium recently.

The 2012/2013 girls under-17 shot put gold champ was edged of the top spot by Jamaican Janel Fullerton (46.47). Another Jamaican Devia Brown took third (43.31).

TT’s other entrant Shaian Charles (D’Abadie Progressive) finished seventh 34.40. James was fourth in last year’s under-17 finals, one spot behind Charles. James was back in action last night in the girls under-18 shot put finals along with Akidah Briggs (Toco Titans).

Portouis Warren (Toco TAFAC) got this country’s second medal of the morning, bronze in the girls under-20 shot put with an effort of 12.70. Jamaica’s Rochelle Frazer was victorious with a distance of 13.63 with Jess St John of Antigua and Barbuda taking the silver (13.26). Marielle Pierre (Burnley) finished in seventh with 11.64m. Young Tyriq Horsford (Zenith) missed out on a medal in the boys under-18 javelin.

The 14-year-old had to settle for fourth with a distance of 59.96, short of his personal best throw of 62.21 achieved at last week’s Falcon Games. Last year’s under-17 champion and record holder Anderson Peters of Grenada took the gold with a heave of 67.67m, edging his team-mate Mikel Joseph (67.23) who had taken the early lead. Travis Ferguson (Bahamas) won bronze (60.60m). The strong winds posed a problem to the competitors as several throwers ended to the right of the sector.

One throw caused a great stir as it landed among the competitors in the boys open long jump. Fortunately no one was hurt and the officials moved the athletes out of danger.

The Zenith duo of Khemani Roberts and Anya Akili were eighth and 15th in the girls under-18 high jump finals. Roberts cleared 1.60m while Akili got over 1.55m. Lamara Destin (Jamaica) leapt to gold (1.68) with Martiniquan Jeanine Allard St Albin, Sakari Famous of Bermuda and St Lucia’s Ashlee Edwards all shared the silver medal clearing 1.60m. The jumpers had to battle strong winds which knocked the bar to the ground from the uprights.

Kevin Roberts (Unattached) led the field after two events in the boys open Octathlon. The 2012 Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Junior champion tallied 1,702 points after winning the 100m (10.97) and long jump events (7.09). Victor Isaac (Toco TAFAC) is in sixth with 1392. Isaac clocked 11.34 in the 100m and jumped out to 6.09m in the long jump. The multi-event competitors contested the shot put and 400m in the afternoon season yesterday and will battle win the high jump, javelin and 1500m today for the medals.

Defending champion Machel Cedenio (Simplex) booked his spot in the boys under-20 400m winning the second of two semi-finals in 47.26, the third fastest of the day. Jamaican Nathan Allen was the top qualifier, taking heat one in 46.91 ahead of Janeko Cartwrigth (Bahamas) 47.07 and TT’s Asa Guevera 47.12. The finals were run off at 6:45 last night. Kashef King (Pt Fortin New Jets) boxed his lane in the boys under-18 400m finals finishing second in the three semi-finals clocking 50.61. TT’s other entrant, Jacob St. Clair missed on a top eight finish finishing court h in heat fur in 50.61.

Renee Stoddard (Neon Trackers) and Thyla Marie Scott (Cougars) were eliminated in the girls under-18 400m semis. Stoddard was third in heat four (57.81) and 12th overall while Scott was sixth in heat one (58.71) and 19th overall.

Adel Colthrust (Southern Athletics) and Akanni Hislop (Zenith) qualified for the boys under-18 finals. Colthrust clocked 10.70 to take second in heat two while Hislop was also second in heat four (10.64). Aaliyah Telesford (Pt Fortin New Jets) and Kayelle Clarke (Petrotrin P/Seco) also advanced to the girls under- 20 100m finals. Telesford was third in heat 1 in 11.86 and Clarke, second in heat two (11.44). Jonathan Farinha (Abilene Wildcats) is in the boys under-20 100m finals clocking 10.30m finish third in heat three while Micah Ballyntine (Alpha) missed out also third in heat one in 10.48 but his time was not fast enough to take the top eight. Jenae Spinks (Neon Trackers) and Jael Ferguson (Abilene Wildcats) missed out on places in the girls under-18 100m finals.

James and Landeau bag silvers for T&T (http://www.guardian.co.tt/sport/2014-04-20/james-and-landeau-bag-silvers-tt)
Published: Sunday, April 20, 2014 (T&T Guardian)


Chelsea James copped T&T’s first medal on the opening morning of action at the 43rd Carifta Games at the Pierre Aliker Municipal Stadium, Fort de France, Martinique yesterday. James took silver in the girls under-18 discus finals with a personal best throw of 43.53 metres in one of the  first finals of the morning. The Tobago Falcons athlete improved her previous best of 41.61 metres effort set the Falcon Games at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, last Saturday. The 2012/2013 girls under-17 shot put champion was beaten by Jamaican Janel Fullerton (46.47m). Another Jamaican Devia Brown took third (43.31). T&T’s other entrant Shaian Charles (D’Abadie Progressive) finished seventh 34.40m. James was fourth in last year’s under-17 finals, one spot behind Charles. James was back in action in the girls under-18 shot put late yesterday along with Akidah Briggs (Toco Titans).
 
Nicholas Landeau (Air Bon Sonics) won this country’s first track medal finishing second in the boys under-20 1,500m yesterday afternoon. The 2011 boys under-17 1,500m and 3,000m champion, crossed the line in a time of 3:58.27 to finish behind Chadoye Dawwon of Jamaica (3:56.93). Landeau took the lead from the gun and was ahead until the the last lap when Dawson went ahead with 250m left in the race. Landeau regain the lead until the final 100m where Dawson sprint away to win. Portious Warren (Toco TAFAC) earned bronze in the girls under-20 shot put with an effort of 12.70. Jamaica’s Rochelle Frazer was the winner with a throw of 13.63 while Jess St John of Antigua and Barbuda took silver (13.26). Marielle Pierre (Burnley)  finished in seventh with 11.64m. Tyriq Horsford  (Zenith) missed on a medal in the boy under-18 javelin. The 14-year-old had to settle for fourth with a distance of 59.96, short of his pb of 62.21 achieved at last week’s Falcon Games. Last year’s under-17 champion and record holder Anderson Peters of Grenada took the gold with a heave of 67.67m, edging his team-mate Mikel Joseph (67.23) who had taken the early lead. Travis Ferguson (Bahamas) won bronze (60.60m).  The strong winds posed a problem to the competitors as several throwers ended to the right of the sector. One throw caused a great stir as it landed among the competitors in the boys open long jump. Fortunately no one was hurt and the officials moved the athletes out of danger.
 
Defending champion Machel Cedenio (Simplex) booked his spot in the boys under-20 400m, winning the second of two semifinals in 47.26, the third fastest of the day. Jamaican Nathan Allen was the top qualifier, taking heat one in 46.91 ahead of Janeko Cartwrigth (Bahamas) 47.07 and T&T’s Asa Guevera 47.12. The finals were run off at 6:45 last night. Kashef King (Pt Fortin New Jets) boxed his lane in the boys under-18 400m finals finishing second in the three semifinals clocking 50.61. T&T’s other entrant, Jacob St Clair missed on a top-eight finish finishing court in 50.61. Adel Colthrust (Southern Athletics) and Akanni Hislop (Zenith) qualified for the boys under-18 100 metres finals. Colthrust clocked 10.70 seconds to take second in heat two, while Hislop was also second in heat four (10.64).  Aaliyah Telesford (Pt Fortin New Jets) and Kayelle Clarke (Petrotrin P/Seco) also advanced to the girls under-20 100m finals.  Telesford was third in heat 1 in 11.86 seconds and Clarke, second in heat two (11.44). Jonathan Farinha (Abilene Wildcats) is in the boys under-20 100m finals cocking 10.30 seconds, after finishing third in heat three, while Micah Ballyntine (Alpha) missed out after placing third in heat one in 10.48 seconds, because his time was not fast enough to take the top eight. The Games continue today.

Gold for Cedenio, James as T&T wins nine medals on day one (http://www.guardian.co.tt/sport/2014-04-20/gold-cedenio-james-tt-wins-nine-medals-day-one)
Published: Monday, April 21, 2014
Clayton Clarke (T&T Guardian)


Machel Cedenio copped T&T’s first gold medal of the 43rd annual Carifta Games at the Pierre Aliker Municipal Stadium in Fort de France, Martinique, on Saturday. Cedenio crossed the line in 45.95 to hold on to the 400-metres title he won one year ago in the Bahamas.
 
Cedenio blasted out of the blocks to finish well ahead of Jamaica’s Nathon Allen (46.97). Compatriot Asa Guevera was third in 47.35, edging out Ivan Henry (Jamaica) 47.36.
 
Speaking after the triumph, Cedenio said he was happy with his performance. “ I felt good and I am satisfied with my run. I am just aiming to run fast this year. This is my last Carifta so I came here to have fun. (Defending my title) was a good accomplishment.”
 
Cedenio has been out of action since the Carifta trials due to an injury. “I was hurt after the Carifta trials so I did some rehab and I am good now so I will do more races.”
 
Chelsea James was the other gold-medal winner, taking the girls under 18 shot-put, the final event of the day. James pushed the iron ball out to 16.12, a personal best and close to two metres ahead of Janel Fullerton of Jamaica (14.41) and another T&T athlete Akidah Briggs (13.79).
 
James improved on her previous best of 15.38m set at the Falcon Games at the Hasely Crawford Stadium last week. James’ golden effort was her second medal of the day, after she secured silver in the discus in the morning session, the first for the national contingent at the Games. She notched another personal best of 43.53 behind Fullerton (46.47) and ahead of another Jamaican, Devia Brown (43.31).
 
Portious Warren collected bronze in the girls under-20 shot-put (12.70).
 
T&T athletes collected nine medals on the first day. Aaliyah Telesford and Nicholas Landeau were silver medallists, while Jonathan Farinha added a bronze in the boys under-20 100m.
 
Telesford took silver in the girls under-20 100m in a wind-aided clocking of 11.42, as Jamaican Jonielle Smith sped to gold in 11.17, with another Jamaican, Kedisha Dallas, taking third (11.44). Kayelle Clarke was fifth (11.51). Landeau had to settle for second in the boys under-20 1,500m, clocking 3:58.27. Farinha blazed to bronze in the final event of the night, clocking a personal best of 10.27, as favourite Jevaughn Minzie of Jamaica roared to victory in 10.18, second ahead of Barbadian Levi Cadogan (10.25). Micah Ballantyne finished down the field in seventh (10.67).
 
Ayoka Cummings missed out on a podium finish in the girls under-20 400m, taking fourth place in 56.83 as reigning World Junior silver medallist Kadecia Baird of Guyana was first to the line, denying the Jamaican pair of Dawnlee Loney (53.90) and Yanique McNeil (54.49). Shirnel Ettienne was seventh (58.10).

Waithe, Roberts strike gold! (http://www.trinidadexpress.com/sports/Waithe-Roberts-strike-gold-255959341.html)

Kevin Roberts secured gold for Trinidad and Tobago in the boys’ octathlon, on day two of the 2014 Carifta Games, here in Fort de France, Martinique, late yesterday.
Shakeil Waithe also earned a title for T&T just before press time, hurling the spear 67.57 metres for top spot in the boys’ under-20 javelin.
Bahamian Denzel Pratt (64.55m) and Kittitian Adrian Williams (64.49m) earned silver and bronze, respectively, while the other T&T thrower in the field, Aaron Enile finished sixth with a 56.38m effort.
Ruebin Walters repeated as bronze medallist in the boys’ under-20 400m hurdles, the T&T athlete getting home in a personal best 51.68 seconds.
Okeen Williams topped the field in 50.99, forcing his fellow-Jamaican Marvin Williams to settle for silver in 51.22.
The other T&T athlete in the race, Aaron Lewis clocked 55.85 to finish eighth.
‘’Coming out of the semi-finals,’’ Walters told the Express, ‘’I had a slight muscle cramp. But I still came out and competed on it. I’m very happy and thankful for my performance today.’’
Walters will bid for a second medal in today’s 110m hurdles.
‘’That’s my better race. I look forward to the 110 hurdles much more than the 400-metre hurdles…going to be a showdown.’’
Jeminise Parris returned a time of one minute, 02.22 seconds for fourth spot in the girls’ under-18 400m hurdles. And in the girls’ under-20 one-lap hurdles, Antonia Attale was seventh in 1:07.51.
On Saturday, Chelsea James completed a hat-trick of Carifta shot put triumphs.
Winner of the girls’ under-17 shot put competition in 2012 and again in 2013, James added the first ever under-18 title to her collection with a big 16.12m throw.
The Tobago athlete dominated her rivals. Her closest challenger, Jamaican silver medallist Janel Fullerton produced a best effort of 14.42m.
The other spot on the podium went to Akidah Briggs, the T&T athlete securing bronze with a 13.79m throw.
There were a couple medals for T&T in the 100m events.
Aaliyah Telesford picked up silver in the girls’ under-20 century in a wind-assisted 11.42 seconds. She finished between two Jamaicans, Jonielle Smith striking gold in 11.17 and Kedisha Dallas bagging bronze in 11.44.
The other T&T sprinter in the race, Kayelle Clarke clocked 11.51 to cop fifth spot.
In the boys’ under-20 100m final, Farinha got to the line in 10.27 seconds to bag bronze, behind Jamaican Jevaughn Minzie, the gold medallist in an impressive 10.18, and Barbadian Levi Cadogan (10.25).
Farinha’s teammate, Micah Ballantyne got to the line in 10.67 to finish seventh.
The boys’ under-18 100m final was re-run, yesterday. Raheem Chambers and Waseem Williams finished one-two for Jamaica, clocking 10.27 and 10.33, respectively. Bahamian Javan Martin (10.54) finished third. T&T sprinter Akanni Hislop clocked 10.75 for fifth spot, while his teammate, Adell Colthrust was sixth in 10.79.
Marielle Pierre finished fourth in yesterday’s girls’ under-20 discus with a 39.48m throw.
Terry Frederick won the opening heat in one minute, 59.18 seconds to qualify automatically for today’s boys’ under-18 800m final. His T&T teammate, Jeremiah Hamilton was eliminated after finishing fourth in heat three in 2:00.22.
Boys’ under-20 1500m silver medallist Nicholas Landeau will face the starter in the 800m final. He finished second in heat one in 1:53.73 to progress automatically.
Ashton Gill, however, was eliminated, his 1:56.79 clocking in finishing fourth in heat two proving too slow for a ‘’fastest loser’’ championship race berth. In Saturday’s 1500m, Gill was seventh in 4:07.51.
In the girls’ under-18 800m final, T&T will be represented by Je-Risa James, who finished fourth in heat one in 2:20.08 to book a spot as a “fastest loser”.
And Elia Nero, seventh in Saturday’s girls’ under-20 1500m in 5:10.83, will battle for two-lap honours today.
T&T earned nine medals on day one, and at press time, yesterday, had added three more for a total of 12 --four gold, three silver, and five bronze.

Re: the 4 x 1 2nd leg

What splits does that youth normally run? Looked a very flat contribution.
His leg was the weak link in that relay, if he could have maintained his position we would have won silver and be much closer to the Jamaica on the last leg.

Maybe John Constantine is being highly overrated in T&T, who knows?

Hopefully Jeminise can medal this evening and make up for her disappointment in not medalling in the 400m Hurdles final and defending her Carifta title which she won last year.

What's with the girls team.
I think they need more regular top class relay competition plus possibly better coaching and training.
Anyway, they are in the Final this evening so lets see how they do.

CARIFTA 2014 DAY 3 UPDATES
Shot put silver for Williams
(http://www.trinidadexpress.com/news/CARIFTA-2014-DAY-3-UPDATES--Shot-put-silver-for-Williams-256049991.html)
By Kwame Laurence in Fort de France
Story Created: Apr 21, 2014 at 1:58 PM ECT (T&T Express)

UPDATE 1:

Kenejah Williams took Trinidad and Tobago’s medal tally at the 2014 Carifta Games, here in Fort de France, Martinique, to 17, with a 16.55 metres throw in today’s boys’ under-20 shot put.

Williams earned silver in the event, behind Jamaican Demar Gayle (16.72m) and ahead of Barbadian Romario Antoine (16.42m).

Asha James was fourth in the girls’ under-20 javelin with a 37.91m effort. The other T&T athlete in the event, Akidah Briggs threw  37.19m to finish fifth. Dominica’s Shanee Angol won with a big 49.66m hurl.

Going into the final session of Carifta 2014, T&T have four gold medals, five silver and eight bronze.

Later today, T&T will chase precious metal in the sprint hurdles, 800m, 200m and 4x400m events, and will also battle for honours in the boys’ under-20 5,000m, boys’ under-18 long jump, boys’ under-20 discus and girls’ under-20 javelin.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Based on Kwame Laurence report just above we have the potential to win 10 medals in this evening's session and hopefully a few of them are going to be gold especially in case of our U-20 Boys 4 x 400m Relay Team that includes Cedenio.

It would be nice for T&T to end on at least 27 medals this evening with at least 8 of them being gold which will mean we would have bettered our performance at last year's Carifta Games when we won a total of 20 medals with 8 being gold, 2 being silver and 10 being bronze.

What a race in the girls hurdles ... Valiant effort by Bim for gold, and to think this was not her pet event. The talent in the race for me doh was the Guadeloupean ... although bronze, if yuh break that race down technically, she could with refinement bring something to the table.

EDIT: Just realized she's at Kansas State ... wonder what the breakdown on the Yard squad is like in terms of domestic v college.

18s ... disappointing run indeed. On the other hand, I was very impressed by the maturity demonstrated by the Bermuda runner doh. She broke up the J'can threat with the right approach. Our runner didn't respond to the challenge.

The Jamaican strategy has been to break the field from early ... I was hoping she would move when they moved to separate, but she didn't. We are suffering from not having 2 finalists in these events. The cooperation between the JAM teammates is evident.

instead of being content with lower placings.

STMB, I don't think we are contented with the lower places. JA just have better athletes than us. They work hard with their talent pool. We have a lot of cating up to do.

In the 5,000 ah feel strongly that Jevon and Akeem could have worked Martinique out of that bronze. We ran too individualistically. Jevon might have been out of a medal, but Akeem seemed a legitimate contender.

I am disappointed in that I was hoping T&T would win as many gold medals as last year if not more which would have been at least 8 gold medals but at least we won a total of 5 medals more than the 20 we won last year. T&T's target medal haul should be 40 medals with at least 15 gold. Anything less and we are not performing to our full potential and our NAAATT need to look at themselves and what they are doing to develop our T&F talent in T&T from the school level coming up.

Many thanks anyway to the T&T Team and athletes for putting their best feet forward and representing to the best of their abilities and especially to those who ran in the Boys U-20 4 x 400m Relay Final to close out the 2014 Carifta Games with a well earned gold medal. We are proud of you! :thumbsup:

I don't know what to make of this medal haul. The slide towards teen numbers that started in 2010-2013 was averted, but looking at the numbers it seems like the decline still hasn't been halted.

Number of golds is one more than Barbados, and lower than should be expected for us.

The positive spin should be signs of progress, I guess, but looking beneath the surface - still much to be desired... :-[

Our sprint talent seems to be drying up but our quarter mile talent is looking okay to healthy! 
I think your help might be needed in getting our upcoming sprint talent to connect and work with the right/best coaches as they transition from junior to senior level! 8)

Kayelle Clarke emerged as the star of the show for Trinidad and Tobago on the third and final day of the 2014 Carifta Games, at the Stade Pierre Aliker, here in Fort de France, Martinique, yesterday.

Clarke outduelled Guyana’s Kadecia Baird on the home straight, the T&T sprinter getting to the line in a wind-assisted 23.10 seconds to capture the girls’ under-20 200 metres title.

Clarke and Baird were locked in a close battle coming home. But near the end, the Guyanese stumbled, and Clarke grabbed the gold. Baird had to settle for silver in 23.13, while bronze went to Jamaican Kedisha Dallas (23.69).

Another T&T sprinter, Zakiya Denoon clocked 24.48 to finish seventh.

T&T struck gold in the final event on the track, Asa Guevara, Nathan Farinha, Theon Lewis and one-lap champ Machel Cedenio running away with the boys’ under-20 4x400m title in an impressive three minutes, 06.02 seconds.

The other medals went to Jamaica (3:07.71) and Bahamas (3:11.32).

An electric last-day atmosphere, fuelled by the sounds of Bahamian Junkanoo and a lively hometown music band, inspired some superb performances, including a stunning, but wind-aided, 13.10 seconds golden run from Jaheel Hyde in the boys’ under-18 110m hurdles. The Jamaican completed the hurdles double, following his one-lap success on Sunday.

T&T finished second at Carifta 2014 with six gold medals, seven silver, and 12 bronze—a total of 25. Jamaica (42 gold, 34 silver, 12 bronze) and Barbados (five gold, five silver, six bronze) were first and third, respectively.

And Barbadian Akela Jones, winner of three individual gold medals, received the Austin Sealy Award for being the most outstanding athlete at the meet.

Andwuelle Wright earned silver for T&T in the boys’ under-18 long jump with a 7.38m leap. Jamaica’s Obrien Wasome topped the field with a wind-assisted 7.66m jump, while third spot went to Suriname’s Miguel Van Assen (7.12m).

T&T’s Nicholas Landeau picked up another middle distance medal, yesterday. The England-based runner clocked 1:51.86 to capture bronze in the boys’ under-20 800m.

With 250 metres to go in the two-lap race, Landeau was fourth. But he made his move, and 200 metres from home was in bronze position. The 1500m silver medallist put in a big effort in a bid for the top spot, but Jamaicans Kevon Robinson and Rajay Hamilton were stronger at the end, taking gold and silver, respectively, in 1:51.02 and 1:51.05.

Ruebin Walters earned his second bronze medal at Carifta 2014, the T&T athlete finishing third in the boys’ under-20 110m hurdles in 13.57 seconds to add to his 400m hurdles medal on Sunday.

Guadeloupe’s Wilhem Belocian won in 13.23 seconds to erase Jehue Gordon’s 13.41 Games record from the books. Jamaican Tyler Mason was also faster than the old standard, clocking 13.25 to claim silver.

T&T’s  Jeminise Parris bagged bronze in the girls’ under-18 100m hurdles, getting to the line in 13.79 seconds to finish behind a pair of Jamaicans—Janeek Brown (13.48) and Sidney Marshall (13.62).

Ayoka Cummings, Tsai-Anne Joseph, Shirnel Ettienne and Denoon combined for silver in the girls’ under-20 4x400m. The T&T quartet clocked 3:46.11 to finish between Jamaica (3:38.20) and Bahamas (3:47.64).

Corey Stewart, Jacob St Clair, Terry Frederick and Kashief King teamed up for bronze in the boys’ under-18 4x400m in 3:13.77. Jamaica (3:12.63) and Bahamas (3:13.16) earned gold and silver, respectively.

T&T’s Akeem Marshall surrendered his boys’ under-20 5,000m title to O’Brien Frith, the Jamaican winning in 15:48.51. Marshall had to settle for fourth spot in 16:21.44.

In the girls’ under-20 800m, T&T’s Elia Nero was fourth in 2:15.49. And there was another fourth-place finish for the country in the girls’ under-20 javelin, Chuntal Mohan falling just short of the podium with a 38.75m throw.

Early yesterday, T&T’s Kenejah Williams threw the iron ball 16.55m to seize silver in the boys’ under-20 shot put. Jamaican Demar Gayle (16.72m) and Barbadian Romario Antoine (16.42m) earned gold and bronze, respectively.

In the girls’ under-18 javelin, Asha James finished fourth with a 37.91m throw, while her T&T teammate, Akidah Briggs landed the spear 37.19m for fifth spot.

Dominica’s Shanee Angol was the class of the field, securing gold with a big 49.66m effort.

Kevin Roberts was very satisfied with his golden performance in the octathlon.

The T&T athlete accumulated 5,696 points for a huge margin of victory in the two-day, eight discipline event. The runner-up, Grenada’s Javel St Paul earned 5,258 points. Martinique’s Florian Simax (5,222) was third, while T&T’s other octathlete, Victor Issac (5,125) finished fourth.

“I’m very happy about the victory,” said Roberts, following the completion of the octathlon, on Sunday. “My main goal coming into the Carifta Games was to win. Considering what happened in Carifta last year, pulling up and not finishing, the off-season I put in was really hard, and I expected this gold medal. My main goal was to get over 5,600 points, and that’s exactly as I did.

“From the first event to the last, I was in the lead, so it was a good win.”

Roberts topped four of the eight disciplines—100m (10.97 seconds), 110m hurdles (15.02), long jump (7.09m) and high jump (1.98m).
“The goals for the remainder of the season,” Roberts told the Express, “are to start the decathlon, and to head out to CAC (Central America and Caribbean) Juniors and World Juniors.”

The other T&T gold on Sunday was earned by Shakeil Waithe, the Tobago athlete winning the boys’ under-20 javelin with a 67.53m throw.
There was a bronze for T&T late on Sunday, Omari Benoit going over the bar at 2.00m to finish third in the boys’ under-18 high jump. Gold and silver went to Jamaican Lusahane Wilson and Bermuda’s Jahnai Perinchief, both athletes clearing 2.03m.

T&T also earned three 4x100m medals on Sunday.

Aaliyah Telesford, Denoon, Joseph and Clarke combined for girls’ under-20 silver in 45.32 seconds, finishing behind Jamaica (44.16) and ahead of Bahamas (45.47).

Micah Ballantyne, John Mark Constantine, Jamaal Bridges and Jonathan Farinha earned T&T bronze in the boys’ under-20 event in 40.71 seconds. Farinha, however, sustained a calf injury and was withdrawn from yesterday’s 200m final. Jamaica (39.38) and Bahamas (40.35) finished first and second, respectively, in the under-20 sprint relay.

There was bronze as well for T&T’s boys’ under-18 quartet, Chad Richards, Akanni Hislop, Stewart and Adell Colthrust teaming up for a 42.41 seconds run. Bahamas clocked 40.76 to claim gold, just ahead of Jamaica (40.78).

In the girls’ heptathlon, Ayanna Glasgow finished eighth with 3,752 points. But her T&T teammate, Meriah Freeman sustained an injury during the long jump, and did not complete the seven-discipline event. Freeman would be keen to make amends when the 2015 Carifta Games are staged in St Kitts/Nevis.

Btw are Nathan Farinha and Jonathan Farinha the same person or are they brothers?

They both look very similar but when running the 100m or the 200m he goes by the name Jonathan Farinha but when he runs the 400m he seems to go by the name Nathan Farinha.

I am assuming that Nathan and Jonathan are the same person or am I wrong and they are actually brothers or even possibly twin brothers?

I am confused. Can anyone help?  :-\

Seriously??? You really think that the NAAA or CARIFTA would allow the same person to enter the competition under two different names?

You saw two similar looking people running because they are brothers, but also twins.

instead of being content with lower placings.

STMB, I don't think we are contented with the lower places. JA just have better athletes than us. They work hard with their talent pool. We have a lot of cating up to do.

I looked at most every finals. In races 800m and above, and the relays, not just T&T but most other runners would simply LET the Jamaican athletes lead, take the front to set the pace, even when they themselves were in contention. When races are being won by less than 1-2 seconds, you think a more mentally tough or confident approach may have resulted in a medal of a different color? I do

Sadly the cards are stacked in Jamaica's favor for years to come now that they have an established IAAF High Performance Center like the one in Havana. Advanced equipment, coaching, financed program by the IAAF....

In addition to a strong school/alum based culture for track and field, corporate recognition of value of sports, an establishment of a collegiate level of competition like the US, they now have the Zharnel Hughes of the Caribbean living and training in Jamaica, benefitting not just Hughes but Jamaican athletes training with and competing against him. Then you have international athletes from around the world also training and competing in the sprints against local talent a la Eldoret in Kenya for distance runners.

T&T have a few options to catch up or stay within distance but requires an astute "salesman" to convince those holding the purse strings who can make it happen. Some options may take 2-3 years, others longer:
1. Finance and conduct 1-2 IAAF coaching and officiating training schools at home each year, not weekend sessions but 1-2 week classroom and practical programs, capturing as many local coaches, officials, and volunteers as possible
2. As Cedenio has done, send some of our best to Jamaica, Cuba, or Florida to train. This may however serve those out of school in their last 2 years of juniors, as I expect most parents will be concerned to send younger athletes away from home and comforts, not knowing what level of education their child might obtain
3. NAAA may convince NGL or other like companies to finance quality international meets (1-2/year) as we had with Hampton Games of old. Even small Martinique, Cayman Islands have joined Jamaica in establishing their invitationals. Which international athlete would not want to visit and compete at a quality meet in the Caribbean? In addition, providing exposure to this level of competition to the public, corporations, club athletes, and coaches would help expand the sport's appeal culturally to levels of bygone years
4. In conjunction with the oil & gas sponsors and the government, approach NACAC's president Victor Lopez to establish an HPC or center of excellence in TT. We can build a quality training center and track at either UTT or UWI, where athletes regardless of club can go and get technical help from resident coaches, sport doctors, and nutritionists
5. Continue with some of the caravan type roads shows to attract talent to the sport in greater numbers.

It would take an engaged Minister of Sports, a cadre of high profile TT legends and current stars, others with access to corporate leaders in Trinidad to work strategically together to push like initiatives to get launched.

I mean, Jamaican athletes are no different to any other Caribbean athlete. We all come from the same continent genealogically, eat the same types of diets, love athletics the same way. What it comes down to is structure, support, hunger, attitude, quality coaching, and financial commitment. Kudos to Jamaica for recognizing an ore and polishing it into a gem.

...." While athletics is not as popular as football and cricket in Trinidad and Tobago it offers the best return on the dollar compared to any sport in Trinidad and Tobago. "  Orville London, THA Chairman, at the opening of the Tobago Falcon games last weekend at the National stadium. While those words have been spoken by others in the past ...Ato comes to mind years ago on this forum and he got some flack for it ...... truer words were never spoken.

It is alright to speak of the great potential of our young athletes but unless and until our Politicians realize this potential and the great benefit to tourism etc. of athletics these words, will be like a clanging cymbal.

So Jamaica has gone clear in athletics ......world athletcs !! ... nowforeign athletes are going to Jamiaica to train, US Universities are hiring Jamaican coaches ..Jamaica has a High performance training Centre etc...things dont happen overnight but also not without a plan

what is our plan for athletics ? the future of our young athletes seem to rest in a university scholarship then let some university coach take over ....and hope you get a college degree in the mix ...amateur at best ...shamateur at worst. Look at the example of jehue Gordon who is completing his degree at home while competing as world champion in the 400 metre hurdles.. with the right facilities we can achieve more in a sport in which we alredy  have current world and olympic champions. we now have UTT and other Institutions which can ensure our athletes  acquire a skill to their level of competence.

Jamaica on the other hand have put things in place to keep their athletes under their supervision where they wont be exploited by the US run for points for your school system which has killed off many a promising athlete.

well I hope to see a vision somewhere which will at least plan a course to take us further than the next stop ...something which will will result in an athletics industry and I hope politicians wanted to leave a legacy would consider the actions necessary to enhance the abilities of our young people in an area where they are excelling but in too few numbers. ..a hgih performance way of thinking perhaps ??

So this means that Jonathan was probably injured why he pulled out of the 200m final.

Trinidad Defeats Jamaica 3:06.02 wins U20 Boys 4x400m Final Carifta Games 2014
http://www.youtube.com/v/A_vkZH7jH-U

I just timed the T&T splits with the stopwatch on my phone and I think they were:-
Leg 1: Asa GUEVARA with 46.0
Leg 2: Nathan FARINHA with 48.4
Leg 3: Theon LEWIS with 45.82
Leg 4: Machel CEDENIO with 45.8;

So it is obvious that Nathan Farinha (Jonathan Farinha's twin brother) and who is coming back from injury was the weak link on the T&T team that just won the U-20 4x4 Carifta gold.

I believe our 2nd leg needs to be strengthened with someone who can run a guaranteed 46.low or 45.xx for the WJC if we want to contend with USA and Jamaica for the WJC gold medal.
So if Nathan is not yet fit and conditioned enough to guarantee us a 46.low or 45.xx on the 2nd leg then he needs to be replaced by someone else who is guaranteed to be up to it come the 2014 World Junior Champs U-20 4 x 400m Relay Final which we will hopefully qualify for and get a good lane.

Record medal haul for Jamaica at Carifta Games 2014 (http://www.trackalerts.com/Articles/record-medal-haul-for-jamaica-at-carifta-games-2014/12236/)
April 22nd 8:23pm (trackalerts.com)
By Anthony Foster in Fort-de-France, Martinique


Jamaica won a record 88 medals, as the 43rd Carifta Games came to an end here on Monday night in Fort de France, Martinique.

On Monday the final day, Jamaica added 32 medals, winning three of the four 200m runs, with similarities in the 800's and the 4x400m relays, to end with 42 gold, 34 silver and 12 bronze.

Trinidad & Tobago finished second in the medal count with 6 gold, 7 silver and 12 bronze, while Barbados ended third with 5 gold, 5 silver and 6 bronze.

Rounding out the top ten on the medals table was Guyana 3 gold and 1 silver; Guadeloupe 3 gold and 8 bronze; Dominica 2 gold; Bahamas 1 gold, 8 silver and 11 bronze; Grenada 1 gold, 3 silver and 2 bronze; Bermuda 1 gold, 3 silver and 1 bronze and St. Lucia 1 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze.

In the 800m finals, Ryan Butler, Monique McPherson and Kevon Robinson led home three, 1-2 finishes, for Jamaica.

Butler, who left it until the final 200m, finished strong in 1:55.61 ahead of his teammate Ryan Dunkley 1:56.03 and Justin Pinder of Bahamas 1:56.37.
McPherson led from the front to take the Under-20 girls 800m in 2:09.85, ahead of her teammate Sasha-Gaye Whyte 2:13.19 and Cheryl Farial of Guadeloupe 2:13.29.

Robinson, who also waited until the last 200m to make his move, crossed the line in 1:51.02 mins just ahead of his teammate Rajay Hamilton, 1:51.05 and Claudius Russell of Bahamas, 1:51.86.

In the two lap Under-18 girls event, Faheemah Scraders of Bermuda spoiled the Jamaicans' party with 2:10.68. The Jamaican pair of Junelle Broomfield 2:10.79 and Britnie Dixon 2:13.33 were next to the line.

Jamaica also dominated the 200m finals with six medals, which included three golds.

Michael O'Hara, the World Youth champion, stepped up to win the Under-20 boys final in 20.50 ahead of teammate Jevaughn Minzie 20.56, with Levi Cadogan of Barbados finishing third in 20.64

Natalliah Whyte, who won the Under-17 sprint double last year, topped the Under-18 girls 200m in 23.36, with her teammate Shellece Clark taking bronze in 23.61. Sada Williams of Barbados 23.43 got 2nd place.

Chad Walker 20.99 finished ahead of his Jamaican teammate Jhevaughn Matherson 21.13 and Bahamian Javan Martin 21.15 in the Under-18 boys 200m final

Kayelle Clarke of Trinidad & Tobago took the the U20 200m girls finals in 23.10 ahead of Kadecia Baird. The 400m champion from Guyana was in the lead with 10 meters to go when her legs came out from under her. She still managed to run a personal best and a Guyanese national record with a 23.13 clocking. Jamaica's Kadisha Dallas was third with 23.69.

In the sprint hurdles, Jamaica with Janeek Brown 13.48 and Sidney Marshall 13.62 finished 1-2 ahead of Jeminise Sade Parris (Turks) 13.79.

Jaheel Hyde, the World Youth champion, topped the boys Under-18 110mH field in 13.10secs, ahead of his Jamaican teammate Roje Chin Jackson 13.46 and Michael Nicholls of Barbados 13.69.

Hyde said, “the plan was to come out here and go below my PR 13.13, so therefore I am happy.” The mark, however, was a wind-assisted 2.2m/s.

“I found I am crashing into the hurdles a bit quicker than normal so what I do is to try and slow down a bit,” added Hyde as to the reason why he did not run faster.

“The Carifta Games is a success for me, because the aim coming in was to take home two individual gold medals.”

Akeela Jones of Barbados ended a seven-year career at Carifta with her first ever 100m hurdles victory in 13.55secs, to beat Peta-Gaye Williams of Jamaica 13.57 and Chrystie Lange of Guadeloupe 13.59

Jones described the victory as “fantastic” while adding “I have never won this event, so this time it feels really good to win the gold medal.”
She continued, “it’s something people don’t think I can do, but I can be the best at (the 100m hurdles).”
“Three gold medals, no record, but I am leaving with a bang,” said Jones, who won the high jump and long jump.

Wilhem Belocian of Guadeloupe 13.23, beat Jamaica’s Tyler Mason 13.25 and Ruebin Walters of Trinidad and Tobago 13.57 in the boys’ Under-20 110mH final.

Jamaica also finished 1-2 in the 5,000m final with Obrien Frith 15:48.51 and Romario Foote 15:51.66 mins.

Trinidad & Tobago closed out the Championships with Machel Cedenio taking them to victory in the boys’ Under-20 4x100m in 3:06.02 ahead of Jamaica (3:07.71), who pocketed gold in the other three finals.

Jamaica won the U18 girls 4x4 finals in 3:37.65 mins, ahead of Bahamas 3:41.90 and Guyana 3:46.23; the U18 boys final in 3:12.63 ahead of Bahamas 3:13.16 and Trinidad and Tobago 3:13.77 and the girls U20 event in 3:38.20 over Trinidad and Tobago 3:46.11 and Bahamas 3:47.64

Jamaica with Olivia Leckford 44.41m and Isheka Binns 43.32m finished 1-2 in the U20 girls javelin final, so too did Glenfford Watson 52.00m and Demar Gayle 51.96 in the boys Under-20 discus.

Obrien Wasome of Jamaica won the boys long jump with a leap of 7.66m over Trinidad & Tobago’s Andweulle Wright 7.38m.
Title: Waithe inspired by Walcott’s Olympic gold
Post by: Socapro on April 22, 2014, 08:35:53 PM
Looks like the spin by our NAAATT to make themselves look good has started. Ephraim Serrette forgot to mention that we won less gold medals than last year and only won one more gold than tiny Barbados.
See section in the article highlighted.

Waithe inspired by Walcott’s Olympic gold (http://www.trinidadexpress.com/sports/Waithe-inspired-by-Walcotts-Olympic-gold-256274241.html)

Shakeil Waithe’s Carifta javelin gold medal did not come by chance. It was a result of a two-year journey inspired by Keshorn Walcott’s Olympic gold medal in 2012. The Tobago athlete was one of six Trinidad and Tobago Carifta gold medalist who returned to Trinidad, yesterday, after competing in the 2014 Carifta Games, at the Stade Pierre Aliker in Fort de France, Martinique.

The T&T athletes were greeted with a welcome reception at Piarco International Airport VIP Lounge following a good showing at the Games at which they won six gold medals, seven silver, and 12 bronze as T&T finished second overall in the medal haul with a total of 25. Jamaica (42 gold, 34 silver, 12 bronze) and Barbados (five gold, five silver, six bronze) were first and third, respectively.

Waithe won the boys’ under-20 javelin with a 67.53m throw and although he said it was not his best performance, he was still pleased to have topped the field. “It feels good to go into a competition and win a gold medal for my country but I was not too pleased with my performance but I still thank the Lord for winning a gold medal,” he told the media yesterday.

Speaking about the influence of Walcott, Waithe said: “Before he (Walcott) won the (Olympic) gold medal, I was doing the javelin and it had a point in time I was going to give up on the javelin and do something else but when he won that gold medal, it kind of pushed me forward to work harder and make sacrifices that I did not want to make before. “I saw what a gold medal could do for the country,” he added.

Last year the 18-year-old from Mary’s Hill in Tobago made the necessary sacrifices, did the work with his coach Ismael Lopez Mastrapa and got the reward. “I was not really surprised by my performance. I just went out there to do my best. My coach kept on pushing me and trying to keep me relaxed. I kept thinking about what I wanted to do and forget what had gone before and that helped me.

“They (the T&T athletes) were supporting me all the way,” he added. He and the rest of the athletes also had the support of hurdler Jehue Gordon who went with the team and supported from the sidelines.

President of the National Association of Athletic Administrations (NAAA) Ephraim Serrette praised the performance of the team describing it a “magnificent showing”.
“We had some exceptional performances, too many to mention. We had five more medals than we got last year and we look forward to analysing our performance from this championship and looking forward to CAC (Central American and Caribbean) Juniors and World Juniors later this year,” he added.
Title: GOOD HAUL: T&T manager satisfied with Carifta showing

Is this just more spin by the T&T Carifta Team management or are we really improving in relation to how Jamaica has been improving? Check this article....

GOOD HAUL
T&T manager satisfied with Carifta showing (http://www.trinidadexpress.com/sports/GOOD-HAUL-256274541.html)
By Kwame Laurence Fort-de-France
Story Created: Apr 22, 2014 at 9:22 PM ECT (T&T Express)


Trinidad and Tobago team manager Dexter Voisin was a satisfied man at the end of the 2014 Carifta Games, in Fort de France, Martinique. T&T finished second on the medal table with six gold medals, seven silver and 12 bronze. Jamaica produced yet another dominant performance, topping the table with 42 gold medals, 34 silver and 12 bronze, for a grand total of 88.

For T&T, the 2014 haul represented an improvement of five medals—25 as opposed to 20 in Nassau, Bahamas last year, a total that included eight gold medals, two silver and ten bronze. “The performances were very encouraging,” Voisin told the Express on Monday night.

“The mere fact that we had a lot of younger athletes means that we have a bright future. Twenty-five medals at the end of Carifta...very promising, a lot of good performances. We should leave here satisfied. Every year, we strive for excellence and improvement. This year was an improvement. “And then,” the manager continued, “some of the athletes were very disappointed in their performances, based on the goals that they would have set.

“The organisational part of the Games was not at the best. We had a lot of challenges. But as we told the athletes before we left, they have to learn to adapt to the different environment and situations because not all meets will be as smooth as we expect. At the end of the day, those who could adapt more came out on top.”

Voisin said he was particularly impressed with Machel Cedenio’s successful defence of his boys’ under-20 400 metres title. The 18-year-old quarter-miler clocked 45.95 seconds for a huge margin of victory in the one-lap final. “That is the performance that stood out,” said Voisin, “notwithstanding that we got five more gold medals.”

Kevin Roberts was also in a class by himself, the T&T athlete striking gold in the boys’ octathlon with 5,696 points--438 points more than the silver medallist. “Over the past couple years,” the manager explained, “Kevin had disappointing performances, so to come and basically dominate this year, it was a great achievement on his part. In terms of the combined events for Trinidad and Tobago, it’s very promising.”

The other T&T gold medallists at Carifta 2014 were Chelsea James in the girls’ under-18 shot put, boys’ under-20 javelin thrower Shakeil Waithe, Kayelle Clarke in the girls’ under-20 200m, and the boys’ under-20 4x400m combination of Asa Guevara, Nathan Farinha, Theon Lewis and Cedenio.

Clarke, who won the half-lap final in a wind-assisted 23.10 seconds, was thrilled with her success.
“I felt the performance was very good,” she told the Express. “I didn’t know what I would have come out in the race, but I gave it my all. My goal for the rest of the season is to continue winning in the 200 metres.”

Voisin is hoping for more success for T&T at the July 4-6 Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Junior Championships in Morelia, Mexico, and the July 22-27 IAAF World Junior Championships in Eugene, Oregon, USA.

“Carifta is just the first indicator in terms of these meets later in the year, so it’s back to the drawing board for most of the athletes with regard to their personal coaches, their club coaches.

“We have to wait and see how they progress going on to the World Juniors because that’s a different level. But again, it’s very promising. If some of them continue with their training, and with improvement, we can see some good performances coming out of the World Juniors.”

Many of the top performers at Carifta 2014 will be on show at the World Juniors meet. The list includes Barbadian Akela Jones, who received the Austin Sealy Award for being the most outstanding athlete at the Games. She struck gold in the girls’ under-20 100m hurdles, high jump and long jump events. Jones was chosen as the Austin Sealy winner by the newly-formed Caribbean Alliance Sports Journalists Association (CASJA).

Carifta Wrap up - Those 'Other' Countries
Top performances from the rest of the region (http://disc.yourwebapps.com/discussion.cgi?disc=113916;article=415505;title=Caribbean%20Track%20%26%20Field%20Forum)

Okay!!!
So Jamaica dominated the 2014 Carifta Games and as we have now come to expect, the performances at these games have been top quality. Jamaica was responsible for a number of quality performances, especially in the sprints. But the rest of the region also stepped up to the plate, and world class performances from these athletes prove that the region has certainly ‘lifted their game’ at the youth and junior level.

Akela Jones (Barbados)
Winning three individual events at the Carifta Games is certainly no easy feat. But Multi talented Akela Jones did thus that. She broke Jamaican hearts when she relegated her Jamaican competitors to silver medals in the long Jump (6.32M), High Jump (1.84M) and 100M hurdles (13.55 seconds). One wonders if there will be a world heptathlon medal waiting for her at the WJG this year.

Wilhem Belocian (Guadeloupe)
The World Youth record holder in the sprint hurdles has dominated the Carifta games and usually wins the event easily. In the 110M hurdles finals, he showed the world he could hold his composure when he was challenged by Jamaica’s Tyler Mason and had to pull out all the stops to eke out a narrow victory in a world leading 13.23.

Kadecia Baird (Guyana)
At the 2012 World juniors, the then 16 yr old Baird ran 51.04 winning the silver medal and great things were expected of her. But she had a poor 2013 season and could only win a bronze medal (54.28) at the Carifta games. But she changed all that at the 2014 games, first winning the gold medal in the 400M and then looked the class of the field in the 200M before losing the gold medal at the tape. After leading the field up to 190M and looking to run sub 23 seconds, she lost form, miscalculated the position of the finish line, staggered and fell but still ran a respectable 23.13.

Casey George (Guyana)
In 2013, George won the U18 girls 1500M and placed second in the 800M. This year she opted to drop the 800M and run the 3000M. The move paid off because she won gold in both the 1500M and 3000M events, thus placing Guyana firmly on the Carifta regional track and field map and joining the selected few athletes who win double gold.

Faheema Scraders (Bermuda)
800M defending champion Scraders of Bermuda revived memories of the days when Bermuda was a regional junior track and field powerhouse, when she defended her 800M crown running an impressive 2:10.68, just outside of Natoya Goule’s 2:9.59 record

Kayelle Clarke (Trindad & Tobago)
The surprise performance of the meet was certainly Clarke’s victory in the U20 girls 200M. Clarke had finished outside of the medals in the 100M, but showed her speed endurance in the 200M when she came from behind to win the event in an impressive 23.10 (+2.3w). Has T&T has found its new Kelly-Ann Baptiste?

Van Assen (Suriname)
Van Assen, the defending triple jump champion decimated the field in his pet event. His 16.33M performance was even better than the performance of the U20 boys. The future looks bright for the Surinamese youth and may even challenge for a medal at WJG this year.

Machel Cedenio (Trinidad & Tobago)
Cedenio has dominated the 400M at these games for quite a while. Last year he defeated Francis (Jamaica) and Newbold (Bahamas) in what is considered to be the greatest race ever run at the Carifta games. This year, he continued his dominance by easily winning the 400M finals and his devastating anchor leg in the mile relay broke the hearts of many Jamaicans who had hoped to end the games on a high note. Hopefully Cedenio will finally win his first individual medal at the 2014 WJG.

Sade Williams (Barbados)
From out of nowhere the Bajan lady stamped her class in the 400M, when she defeated Jamaica’s WYG bronze medalist Tiffany James in the U18 400M. Her time of 53.39 was an astounding 0.5 seconds faster than the 53.84 winning time of the U20 400M race. In the 200M on the final day, she placed second to defending champion Natalia White, but ran a 23.4 PR, not too bad for a newbie in the sport.

Levi Cadogan (Barbados)
Cadogan did not win an event at the games, but nevertheless, his performances in the U20 boys 100M and 200M deserve mention. In an extraordinary year of regional sprinting, Cadogan’s 10.25 and 20.60 shows that he could be the next Obadele Thompson.

nah Dexter, nah!!!!
I think us falling from high of 40 medals in 2010 (see link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_CARIFTA_Games) when we won more than half the amount of medals that Jamaica did to being satisfied with just 25 medals in 2014 (within 4 years), typifies why we are not improving at the same rate as Jamaica has been and are being left behind by them in almost every department.

In my opinion our medal target should be at least 40 medals (as we won 4 years ago) in 2010 with at least 15 to 20 of them being gold medals and anything less is us under performing from our full potential.
In most cases under performing is not necessarily the fault of the athletes themselves who tend to give of their best but more a reflection of the performance of our NAAATT and them not putting the things in place to find and develop our young talented athletes from the school level coming up.
We should never be satisfied with less than 35 total medals and less than 15 gold medals in my eyes or we are under-performing in regards to our true talent and potential!

CARIFTA athletes lauded by NAAA (http://www.newsday.co.tt/sport/0,193768.html)
By JOEL BAILEY Wednesday, April 23 2014 (T&T Newsday)

MEMBERS OF the Trinidad and Tobago contingent at the CARIFTA Track and Field Championships in Fort de France, Martinique returned home yesterday with a haul of 25 medals — six gold, seven silver and 12 bronze.


After the three-day annual meet, Trinidad and Tobago finished second on the medal count, with Jamaica leading the way with 88 (42 gold, 34 silver and 12 bronze), while Barbados were third with 16 medals (five gold, five silver and six bronze).

The NAAA (National Association of Athletics Administrations of Trinidad and Tobago) held a brief welcome reception for the squad at the VIP Lounge, Piarco International Airport.

The experienced Machel Cedenio retained the boys Under-20 400-metre crown, while he was part of the victorious boys Under-20 4x400m relay team.

About the 400m win, he said, “it feels good, going out there and defending my title.”

He had more to say about the 1,600m relay gold medal. “2009 was the last time we won the 4x4 and last year, we had the opportunity to win but we didn’t. We kept that in mind and this year we kept focus, we went out there and win the 4x4.”

Looking ahead to the rest of 2014, Cedenio noted,“I’m looking to win World Juniors (in Eugene, United States), that’s my goal right now, that’s basically it, run good times and a couple of meets in Europe.”

NAAA president Ephraim Serrette pointed out, “we had five more medals than last year. Our athletes, I think, performed exceptional. It’s always nice when you leave on a high, and we left (on Monday) night on a high, with the boys 4x400 metres event.

“We had good success, both on the field and on track, very good performances,” he continued. “We look forward to analysing our performances from this Championship, and we look forward to the CAC Juniors and World Championships.”

Serrette was also appreciative of the fan support the TT team received.

“I also want to thank the supporters who would have travelled with the team. We have growing support from the parents as well as the track and field fans.”

Team manager Dexter Voisin praised the work of the local media in their coverage of the Games.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen the interest in the local media with regards to covering this meet before and even during the (Games),” said Voisin. “I’d also like to thank Jehue (Gordon) who travelled with the team in Martinique.

“Jehue, just like Keshorn (Walcott) and many of our top athletes, have passed through the CARIFTA before. It’s very good to see one of our prominent athletes travelling with the team. I saw him in the stands cheering on.”

Also speaking at the welcome reception was Huey Cadette, who extended greetings on behalf of the Tobago House of Assembly (THA) — he is the secretary for the Division of Education, Youth Affairs and Sport.

The 2015 CARIFTA Track and Field Championships will take place in St Kitts.

i am not holding my breadth on any HPC in TT in the near future. First off all TF need there own facilities, NOW. NOT NEXT WEEK, BUT NOW. FOR TF ONLY.  Let's start there first, then come back talk HPC.

An HPC, Center of Excellence, whatever you want to call it is exactly that - a TF only facility. Even if Puma or Adidas were to gift a track tomorrow in any location of asking, you still need a maintenance crew, it is no good without a resident quality coach or two, no good without equipment storage, no good without an adjoining strength training facility. Call it what you want (HPC-lite) we need done.

Short term however the greatest need is quality coaching knowledge of new techniques or refreshers for all existing and any new coaches (in numbers). The fundamental difference I see between Jamaican athletes and us is conditioning, technical form, race strategy, and that air of confidence (expectation to win). That requires the least investment, and can bring the greatest short term impact, with or without promises of facilities or structured programs.

The NAAAs is suffering from the same "seductive" logic that impacts TT corporations. In the midst of general sub-par team performance they focus on the "highlighters", those few athletes whose memorable performances put "a bow on a pig". Like an average-looking girl enhanced by make up and glitter, they can't see through to the fundamental flaws impacting TT athletics as a whole.

Come bet some corporation's marketing manager is going to make a media splash and fund Cedenio, Waithe, and maybe Clarke enormously whilst "throwing the rest of the athletes by the wayside", like opportunists sifting through tons of river sand for specks of gold.

Anybody know a journalist willing to write an article to open the eyes of these people. Maybe a little education in development strategy may sway the local corporate approach

Title: SPRINTERS AND HURDLERS SHINE AT CARIFTA GAMES

SPRINTERS AND HURDLERS SHINE AT CARIFTA GAMES (http://www.iaaf.org/news/report/carifta-2014-hyde-belocian-assen-jones)
22 APR 2014 REPORT FORT-DE-FRANCE, MARTINIQUE
By Jon Mulkeen for the IAAF


As has been the case for the past 42 editions, this year’s CARIFTA Games in Fort-de-France, Martinique, was highlighted by outstanding performances in the sprints; not just on the flat, but over the barriers too.

Jamaica’s world youth champion Jaheel Hyde was one of the stars of the three-day event, which ended on Monday (21). Competing in the newly-formed under-18 category, which replaced the under-17 section, Hyde won the hurdles double, replicating his achievement from the recent Boys and Girls Championships.

Despite having only competed in a small handful of 400m hurdles races, he won the one-lap event in 51.21. But it was in his specialist shorter event where he really impressed.

His winning time of 13.10 would have been a world youth best, had it not been for the marginally over-the-limit wind assistance of 2.2m/s. Nevertheless, he was pleased with his campaign and will now turn his attention towards qualifying for the IAAF World Junior Championships later this year in Eugene.

Hyde’s titles formed just two of the 42 gold medals won by Jamaica as they comfortably topped the medals table, winning seven times as many titles as the second-placed nation, Trinidad and Tobago.

Wilhem Belocian, the athlete whose record Hyde almost broke, also impressed in the older under-20 age group. The French athlete qualifies to compete at the CARIFTA Games through the flag of his birth nation, Guadeloupe.

Competing in his first race since breaking the world junior indoor 60m hurdles record, Belocian broke another record in Fort-de-France in winning the 110m hurdles with a championship record. But he was pushed all the way by Jamaica’s Tyler Mason, 13.23 to 13.25 (1.6m/s) as both athletes dipped under the previous championship best performance set in 2010 by world 400m hurdles champion Jehue Gordon.

Jamaica dominates flat sprints

World youth champion Michael O’Hara led home a Jamaican one-two in the under-20 200m, setting a PB of 20.50 to finish 0.06 ahead of Jevaughn Minzie. In third, Levi Cadogan of Barbados set a lifetime best of 20.64.

With O’Hara not contesting the 100m, Minzie took gold in 10.18 (1.7m/s) with Cadogan once again finishing one place behind, clocking 10.25.

The gold medals in the under-18 boys’ 100m and 200m also went to Jamaica. Raheem Chambers won the 100m in 10.27 (1.9m/s) with team-mate Waseem Williams taking silver in 10.33, while Chad Walker clocked 20.99 to take the 200m title.

Jamaican girls also took both 100m and 200m titles in the under-18 group with Kimone Shaw winning the shorter sprint in a windy 11.42 and Natalliah Whyte taking the half-lap event in a PB of 23.36.

Another Jamaican, Jonielle Smith, was also aided by the wind in the under-20 100m, winning in 11.17 with a strong 5.1m/s breeze behind her back. But Jamaica fell just one short of winning all the available 100m and 200m titles as the under-20 200m title went to Kayelle Clarke of Trinidad and Tobago.

Clarke was locked in a battle with Kadecia Baird, winner of the 400m in 53.84. But Baird stumbled near the finish as Clarke gained victory in 23.10 (2.3m/s), just 0.03 ahead of Baird.

Jones takes two golds in close contests

Akela Jones of Barbados was given the Austin Sealey award, an honour presented to the athlete who is adjudged to be the most outstanding. The 18-year-old came away from Fort-de-France with two gold medals, both won by the narrowest of margins.

First up was the long jump, in which the 18-year-old sailed out to a leap of 6.32m to win by just one centimetre from Jamaica’s Claudette Allen.

Two days later, Jones lined up for the 100m hurdles and the competition in that event was even closer, beating a field that included world youth champion Yanique Thompson. Jones came off the final hurdle best and was awarded victory in a photo finish as both she and Jamaica’s Peta-Gay Williams were timed in 13.55.

Jones is now the latest name on an illustrious list of Austin Sealey award winners, joining the likes of Usain Bolt, Yohan Blake, Jehue Gordon and Kirani James.

Trinidad and Tobago’s Machel Cedenio was another double gold-medal winner. He won the under-20 400m title in 45.95 and ended the championships by anchoring his team to victory in the 4x400m, clocking 3:06.02, less than half a second away from the national junior record.

Both under-20 4x100m titles were won comfortably by Jamaica. Individual champions O’Hara and Minzie teamed up to win the men’s title with 39.38, while 100m champion Smith anchored the victorious women’s team to gold in 44.16.

One of the best performances on the in-field came from Suriname’s Miguel Van Assen in the under-18 triple jump. Aided by a perfect 2.0m/s tailwind, the 16-year-old flew out to 16.33m to break the national senior record set 23 years ago.

As the under-18 category was a new addition to the CARIFTA Games, all winning marks in that age group were championship records by default. But Van Assen’s winning mark was just two centimetres shy of the championship record in the older under-20 category.

i am not holding my breadth on any HPC in TT in the near future. First off all TF need there own facilities, NOW. NOT NEXT WEEK, BUT NOW. FOR TF ONLY.  Let's start there first, then come back talk HPC.

An HPC, Center of Excellence, whatever you want to call it is exactly that - a TF only facility. Even if Puma or Adidas were to gift a track tomorrow in any location of asking, you still need a maintenance crew, it is no good without a resident quality coach or two, no good without equipment storage, no good without an adjoining strength training facility. Call it what you want (HPC-lite) we need done.

Short term however the greatest need is quality coaching knowledge of new techniques or refreshers for all existing and any new coaches (in numbers). The fundamental difference I see between Jamaican athletes and us is conditioning, technical form, race strategy, and that air of confidence (expectation to win). That requires the least investment, and can bring the greatest short term impact, with or without promises of facilities or structured programs.

What HPTC have to do with Carifta? These are school kids and most have never seen the inside of the HPTC in Jamaica...that is mainly for elite senior athlertes. Jamaica's dominance comes from the large number of quality H-School coaches we have that have spewed out of the GC Foster Sports College. This has been going on for 30 years now. How old is the HPTC in Jamaica?

How old is the HPTC in Jamaica?

1. We don't have a specific sports college in Trinidad, nor a strongly established program of that nature.
2. We don't have a strong school-based athletic structure, ours is predominantly club-based, attracted much less talent.
3. Our coaches over the years have been simply athletes' parents, self-thought individuals, ex-athletes, and a minority who actually attended US universities in sports science.
4. We have depended on finding great natural talent upon which to improve with average coaching.
5. For decades when we went to train at the few facilities we had, those facilities were locked up or inaccessible even in the middle of the season. These facilities are multi-purpose so we could not train because a football or cricket game, cycling practice, Carnival/Parang fete/show preparation took precedence according to the town's management; or simply the gatekeeper was at the rum shop across the street with the keys.
6. We had ONE opportunity to see non-US international talent a year (Hampton Games), no other opportunity to measure ourselves against the best.
7. We are the last stop in the Caribbean, so it is expensive for our teams to go anywhere, a trip to Florida or Penn Relays is not as easy for a team from Jamaica or the Bahamas to fathom.

Yet we produce much fewer but very high quality athletes (compare our national records, especially the 400m - you would think JA would have a produced a sub-44 by now). So though Jamaica wins 7 times as many golds as T&T in the 2014 Carifta Games (the nest of future talent), we end up placing nearly as many in an international final at the World level because our talent finally comes to fruition by somehow playing catch up at US universities, until now with the Jehue Gordons and Keshorn Walcotts, but even them need exposure to the European circuit and the HPTC in Cuba.

So for Trinidad (maybe not Jamaica) we especially need an HPTC (or something like it) so that we can be EVEN better by producing high quality athletes in numbers. Our problem is (i) the limited production of high-level coaches, (ii) access to TF-only facilities, (iii) quality training groups for our returned athletes from the US, (iv) exposure to equipment/techniques/knowledge (sports medicine, nutrition, strength training, conditioning, etc) that we do not have or impart properly. And we need this for athletes at ALL levels (from U-12 to international). We excel without it but imagine what we could do WITH it.

Trinidad is rectangular in shape so having one centrally located or near the crossroads of our NS and EW highway system would make sense.

HPTC wont help you with Carifta results. Try the other shortfalls you mentioned...dedicated Sports College, school based competitive system, etc.

If you think you see the best of Jamaica at Carifta, you are mistaken. They are Champs drained.
Besides, our system is only slightly less dysfuctional than yours!

Look at WY Champs last year. Jamaica topped the WORLD. HPTC didnt do that. HPTC is what helps us with the transition to the Pros from Jnr ranks and it is open to everyone, not just Jamaicans. Puerto Rico has a HPTC too, but that is just facilities, devoid of real buzz.

As for talent, you have a smaller population and 50% is Asian, so big sprint disadvantage there already. Having said that numbers dont tell all, as no country can get more than 3 athletes per event in the Olys anyway, so the "nearly as many in finals" comment is misleading and reflect wrong thinking. If we have Bolt/Blake/Asafa in a 100m final and you have Bledman and RT, you think that is comparable?

As for 400m record, it would be far better by now if Bolt stuck to 400m, if Gonzalez was not so injury prone or if Blake and other sprinters took it up. Never mind that though, as we have a great wave coming up. When we had 3 class 2 boys running 46point at Champs 2013 and the 13 year Old Chris Walker from Cbar running 48 low, then we should not worry. Throw in Bann and Bloomfield and the future is bright. Oh and Forte may do 200m/400m combo too.

Willi, ok you made your point. HPTC may not help us. But TF in TT need its own dedicated facility. Like the man explain above, the stadia home are multi purpose facilities and depending on who has "strings" with the govament, they does get priority. We have to take a different approach to improve our performance at the developmental level. Credence to JA, they have their solid foundation. Ours is made of sand. We have to put some concrete in ours.

Jamaica has its needs and so does Trinidad, but one size does not fit all, as you say we have different population make-up but that should not be a disadvantage if you get the right talent from within the pool. So those of us who lived, grew up, trained, competed in its system, and for T&T would know best, thank you.

Just as you mention the what-ifs about the 400m, well what if Darrel Brown's mentor (Nestor Bown) a chain-smoking, UWI librarian who never ran a day in his life had not died just as DB was reaching his prime, being not-wisely persuaded to leave his charge and move to Auburn to seek "better horizons" in the US, then T&T should have won the gold in the 100 and 200 in the 2004 Olympics. But as much as we might extrapolate on DB or what Bolt or his partner woulda/coulda done in the 400m it did not happen, and will not happen (Bolt simply does not enjoy the 400m and I suspect knows he has limitations) in that last 100m as awesome as he is in up to the 300m.

Don't let hubris get to you, appreciate the supportive culture, coaching and talent you have, but don't think for a moment that the other islands can't produce athletes as spectacular, history has shown different. One of those 44 legs came from Delano Williams, and well Zharnel brush off most of that talent you just talk about in the 100m. Between the Guadeloupean hurdler and the sprinters from Barbados, Trinidad and the Cayman Islands the future is bright for the entire region.

Case in point neither Richard Thompson nor Deon Lendore made a significant dent in their Carifta or Penn Relays years, but they did and are more than making up for it, and as we have always argued and used in favor of or against points, all that junior talent does not filter to the top with early peaking, injuries, disinterest, burn out, etc.

I agree with you and THAT IS MY POINT. I believe di man (STMB) was conflating. TnT has many T&F problems. The solutions at the Jnr level are different to the solutions needed for the senior level.

Dedicated facilities is one thing, but coaching and competitive environment are more urgent at the Jnr level. For the Snr level, you need a transition strategy, that keeps athletes healthy, motivated and economically secure within reason.

STMB, nothing against you as I can feel your passion. Just suggesting that you dont need to reinvent the wheel and should not shy from taking good ideas from wherever. Just make sure to isolate the individual problems, so they can be addressed appropriately. Facility alone is not the cure all. Jamaica has faaar less facilities than TnT, but uses them much more efficiently.

Hubris???
Hahahahahaha

You must think I am a waggonist? Go ask Flex. Its from 1997 that I set up the Carib T&F forum with his help. I know when we were happy for a single bronze. I am not waggonist chestbeater, rather a realist who knows what O'clock ah strike.

If Bolt dedicated himself to the 400m, the WR is gone, no question! Limitations? Do you know many SERIOUS knowledgable inside people think Bolt's best event could have been the 800m?

44point leg? You forgot that Super Donx ran that in Moscow last year as a schoolers, 44.00s leg to be exact? Our 400m problem has been nothing more tha 100meter-itis! That is where the money is and that is where they all gravitated to. LaShawn Merrit and I spoke about that a few years ago in Lausanne, and its the reason why he tried to bait Bolt to race him at 300m or 400m. The money currently follows Bolt and Merritt wisely wants a piece.

Now, I am not foolish enuff to think that Jamaica has all the talent in the caribbean, as Jehue/Kirani/KAB/RT/Walcott/Braithwaite/Kim/etc have all had good to great transitions to the senior level. At the same time, I urge you to recoil from going to the other extreme to say we all have the same quantity of talent. The evidence is NOT there. Jamaica has 50% of the Anglo-Caribbean population and most of that with West African sprint genes, so we do seem to have a natural numerical advantage. Even with that, we wont have a monopoly, but we currently seem to be nurturing the harnessed talent better than most, despite domestic dysfunctionality.

Finally, Zharnell is a pro at Racers and barely beat Minzie at Champs, coming from behind. He is the best at the moment for his age level and is a pet of Mills, but he cant touch the train-line of seniors above him, including Forte/Skeene/Delano/Murphy/Todd/Livermore/Harvey/Young/ etc who will peak later this year. I dont even put Dexter Lee in bunch, and we all know about Carter/Bolt/Blake/Ashmeade/Weir/Frater/Asafa and a few others who have escaped my memory now.

Point is, its hard for everyone transitioning to a stocked senior level, so attention to detail is critical at this juncture.

BTW, I want to reiterate that I respect you as a fan of this sport, so dont take any disagreement as more than that. I read your posts and take them seriously.

Carifta Games  – Young Ones
Age is just a number (http://disc.yourwebapps.com/discussion.cgi?disc=113916;article=415644;title=Caribbean%20Track%20%26%20Field%20Forum;pagemark=100)
By Elmo of Caribbean Track & Field Forum (http://disc.yourwebapps.com/discussion.cgi?disc=113916;article=415644;title=Caribbean%20Track%20%26%20Field%20Forum;pagemark=100)
Wed Apr 23, 2014 19:56


One of the drawbacks of the age change from U17 to U18, is that the young (13-15) talent is lost among the 16 and 17 year olds who dominate the U18 group. But there are a few who still manage to shine brightly. Considering that they all have TWO or THREE more years as youths, one can expect some serious fireworks at the next games.

Of course, I am familiar with the Jamaican youngsters, but Scorpion King, Socapro, Stunna, Choko, etc..please add some names.

Kimone Shaw (Jam - 14 yrs old) - Placing: U18 girls 100M gold
Last year as a 13 yr old, Kimone won the Class 4 100M in an unbelievable 11.75. This year as a 14 year old, she won the U18 100M at the Carifta trials in 11.55, but was a shadow of herself at champs, finishing fourth in the CIII 100M. But Kimone was again in fine form at the Carifta Games, running a blistering 11.42 (+3.3) and winning the U18 gold medal. Although the U20 girls race was run in +5.1w, only Jonelle Smith ran faster than Kimone’s 11.44.

Jamal Walton (Cayman - 15 yrs old) - Placing: U18 boys 400m bronze
The Cayman island youth won the bronze medal in the U18 400M, running 47.74, a time that would usually win the U17 400M at the Carifta games. He also placed fourth in the 200M, where he ran 21.64. That is certainly not too shabby for a 15 yr old representing Cayman.

Jevaughn Matherson (Jam - 15 yrs old) - Placing: U18 Boys 200M silver
15 year old Matherson took on his older competitors in the 200M and won the silver medal, running a very fast 21.13. Of course at his high school championships he recorded 20.9 over the same distance. The versatile youth has also recorded 10.37 over the 100M, the second fastest time ever by a 15 yr old.

Adell Colthrust (T&T – 14 yr old) - Placing: U18 Boys 100M fourth place
This 14 year old youth (born in 2000)made a serious impression a few years ago in the C.U.T. meet in Jamaica when he blew away some of Jamaica’s top age group sprinters. This year, he placed fourth in the original U18 100M races, running 10.57, a very fast time for a 14 yr old (CIII) boy.

Lamara Distin (Jam - 14 yr old) - Placing: U18 girls High jump Gold
What a season Distin has been having. This 14 yr old won the high jump at her trials in a 1.71M PR. At champs she placed second to new record holder Shian Salmon (another 14 yr old who was left at home who jumped 1.78M). At the Carifta games in very windy conditions, Distin won Jamaica’s first gold medal at the games with a 1.68M leap.

Just a pity the ages have changed. These youngsters would have been much more visible.
