In the men's under-17 200m race, British Virgin Islands’ Jaleel Croal overcame the challenge posed by Jamaica as he secured the CARIFTA Games title ahead of Christopher Scott and Richard Nelson, second and third respectively.

Shaquena Foote also starred for the Jamaican team as she clinched her second gold medal of the event, designed to enhance relations between the English-speaking countries of the Caribbean.

Foote, winner of the women's under-20 400m crown yesterday, cruised to victory in the 400m hurdles in 58.05.
