Jamaica added four more gold, three silver and a bronze medal after the sprint hurdles finals at the 2023 Carifta Games at the Thomas Robinson Stadium in Nassau, Bahamas on Easter Monday. The Jamaicans had 1-2 finishes in three of the four finals.

Bryanna Davidson easily won the U17 Girls 100m finals in 13.31 over teammate Camoy Binger, who ran 13.51 for the silver medal. Curacao’s Zsa Zsa Franz ran 14.26 for the bronze medal. It was more of the same in the U20 Girls 100m hurdles where Alexis James, the World U20 silver medallist, showed her class winning in a new championship record of 13.06.

Her teammate Asharria Ultette claimed the silver with a strong run of 13.24 with Nya Browne of the Bahamas finishing third in 13.80.

Kahiem Carby raced away with the gold medal in the U17 Boys title winning in a fast 13.49s, well clear of his compatriot Shakir Lewis, who ran a time of 14.20m. Quinton Rolle of the Bahamas took the bronze medal after finishing third in 14.49.

The U20 boys from Jamaica would have been hoping to replicate the 1-2 performances of their teammates but Otto Laing of the Bahamas had other ideas. In a closely contested race, Demario Prince won the gold medal in a personal best 13.37s with Laing taking silver in 13.49 just ahead of Jamaica’s Shaquane Gordon, the 2022 U17 champion, who took the bronze medal having run 13.54.

Nkrumie produced the record performance to win semi-final three and advance to the final scheduled for later on Tuesday. Grenada’s Nazzio John narrowly missed out on a place in the final despite a personal best 10.31 to finish third in semi-final three.
