Cedenio in Carifta 68

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.
