Cedenio among 67 for Carifta Games

Olympic athlete Machel Cedenio is among five T&T athletes who will defend their titles at the 43rd Carifta Games which will be held from April 19-21, in Fort de France, Martinique.

The National Association of Athletics Administrations (NAAA) also included four other gold medallists from last year in a 67-member team. They are Jeminise Parris (400m hurdles), Chelesa James (shot put), Andwelle Wright (long jump) and Akeem Marshall (5000m). The team was announced yesterday, four days following the two-day Carifta trials held at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Port-of-Spain.

The group, one of the largest contingent selected for the Carifta Games will compete in Under-18 and Under-20 age divisions as opposed to Under-17 and Under-20 groups competed in prior editions. Seventeen officials have also been selected.

Other medalists from last year’s team that will make the trip include Shaiann Charles, Che Richards and Ruebin Walters. A charter has been organised by the NAAA for an April 17 departure at 10 am, before a return on April 22, at 12.10 pm. The cost of a ticket per person is $5,200.
