Chantoba Bright achieved the rare feat of winning a complete set of medals – gold, silver and bronze – at the 47th edition of the CARIFTA Games hosted by the Bahamas this past Easter weekend.
Team Guyana’s 17-member contingent snared nine medals, the largest haul to date. Chantoba Bright’s gold medal in the Girls U-20 long jump, one silver by the Girls 4x400m relay squad, of which Bright was a member, and seven bronze medals made up Guyana’s tally. The relay medal was the first in Guyana’s history.
It was not all about winning medals however, as numerous personal milestones were established by our young ambassadors, many of whom were making their CARIFTA Games debuts.
