T&T delivers all-round excellence at CARIFTA 2026

Trinidad and Tobago continued its rich vein of form at the 2026 CARIFTA Games in Grenada, ending Day Two in second place on the medal standings with 23 medals—already within touching distance of the 25-medal tally achieved across the entire 2025 championships.

After a strong opening day haul of 11 medals, T&T elevated its performance on Day Two with 12 more podium finishes, highlighted by commanding displays in the relays and combined events.

Day One was anchored by gold medals from Nyla Kerr in the Girls Under-17 1500m (4:43.61) and Seanna Parsons in the Girls Under-20 triple jump (13.12m).

There were also several sprint podium finishes, including silvers for Jayden Goodridge (Boys U17 100m) and Alexxe Henry (Girls U20 100m), while Trevaughn Stewart and Jaquan Douglas secured bronze in their respective 100m events.

Momentum surged on Day Two, led by Tyrique Vincent’s gold medal performance in the Boys Under-20 decathlon (6,824 points), with Kaleb Campbell adding bronze in the same event.

Distance runner Aniqua Bailey also struck gold in the Girls 3000m Open (10:14.10), while Peyton Winter (shot put) and Omari Brown (400m hurdles) delivered silver medal performances.

The relays proved especially fruitful.

The Boys Under-20 4x100m team stormed to gold in 39.64 seconds, while T&T secured two silvers and a bronze across the other sprint relays.

With contributions spanning sprints, middle distance, field events, and relays, Trinidad and Tobago’s balanced team effort has positioned them as serious contenders heading into the final day of competition.
