The Florida State University (FSU) student produced a personal-best clocking of 53.66 seconds to grab gold in the women's 400 metres. Massiah was 89-hundredths of a second faster than her closest rival.
Another T&T athlete, Natakki Dasent, was in winners' row in the men's 110m hurdles. The Albany State University student clocked a wind-assisted 15.28 seconds to top the sprint hurdles field.

At the Washington University Quad meet, in Missouri, Nandelle Cameron came out on top in a thrilling women's 100m dash.
