2019 Jamaica Carifta Trails Schedule, Live Results and Updates

by Leave a Comment

KINGSTON, Jamaica — The 2019 Jamaica Carifta Trials will get underway on Friday at the National Stadium, but a few of the nation’s top juniors are set to skip the meet.

The event will start at 4:30 p.m. today with the shot put events for Under-17 and Under-20 girls, while the action on the track is scheduled to start at 5:00 pm with the 400m heats.

The three-day trials will conclude on Sunday. DRAFT Performance List | 2019 Schedule of Events |2018 Results

Several of the island’s coaches posited that the just concluded High School Boys and Girls Champs 2019 could have been used to select the larger part of the teams, which would have given some of the athletes more time to recover.

Headlining the list of Champs 2019 stars set to miss the Carifta Trials on the girls’ side are Edwin Allen’s Kevona Davis, her schoolmate Rushana Dwyer, as well as Hydel High’s Ashanti Moore and Charokee Young.

Davis, who ran with precautionary tape on her thigh during the 200m final, retained her Class Two sprint double at Champs 2019, but was pulled from the sprint relay.

Her coach Michael Dyke said she is healthy, but will be rested.

“She ran six races over the course of the championships and faced the prospect of four more races at the trials,” Dyke was quoted as telling Sportsmax.TV.

Hydel High coach Corey Bennett has decided not to enter athletes at the trials to give them to concentrate on school and shake off any form of fatigue

Leading the group is Class One 100m and 200m champion Moore, who needs time to prepare for “external examinations” and “get some rest.”

“She is tired and needs to get some rest,” Bennett told Sportsmax.TV.

“We decided long before Champs that we would not be doing back-to-back weekends. She is also preparing for external examinations which are of the utmost importance.”

Meanwhile, Petersfield High’s Antonio Watson could miss the trials as he continues to recover from a niggle.

Watson, who didn’t show up for the 200m and 400m finals at Champs has been complaining of soreness in his hamstring and did not train this past week.

Holmwood Technical’s Michae Harriott and Kingston College’s Terrique Stennett were not entered.

At the same time, though, the three-day trials will see the likes of Briana Williams, the IAAF World Under-20 double sprint champion, Calabar’s Class One Champs 100m champion Oblique Seville, as well as Edwin Allen’s Clayton twins, Tia and Tina all down to take part.

Kingston College star man Wayne Pinnock, who set records in the Class One boys long jump and 110m hurdles, is also set to take part, along with Calabar High pair of Cobe Graham and Kai Chang and Petersfield High’s Christopher Brown, who will compete in the Under-20 boys shot put.

The Trials will select the Jamaican team to the 2019 Carifta Games, which will take place from April 20-22 at the Truman Bodden Sports Complex in the Cayman Islands.

Edwin Allen Speedsters Lead The Way In Girls 100m Final At Champs 2019

by Leave a Comment

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Edwin Allen speedsters set the pace in the girls 100 metres semi-finals at Champs 2019 on Friday’s fourth day of competition at the National Stadium.

Despite not running the quickest times from their semi-finals in Class Three, the Clayton twins, Tia and Tina looked most impressive when winning their respective heats.

With less than Maximum effort, Tia Clayton posted a time of 11.84 seconds to take the second of the semis, while her sister Tina was just as comfortable when she returned 11.85 seconds to take the third semi-final heat.

The pair though, qualified behind arch-rival Brianna Lyston of St. Jago High who ran 11.72 seconds to win heat one.

These three athletes were the only ones to dip below the 12-seconds barrier in the semi-finals.

Meanwhile, another Edwin Allen junior standout, Kevona Davis, ran 11.52 secs to post the fastest time in the Class Two girls 100m.

Davis, who set a record time of 11.16 secs to win gold last year, will be hoping to rival those achievements as she hunts maximum points for the defending team champs.

Sashieka Steele of Holmwood ran 11.66 for second place to Davis in her heat.

Ackera Nugent from Excelsior also ran 11.66 when winning the third semi-finals, while Krystal Sloley of Campion College looked very impressive when winning her semi-final heat in 11.77.

Both Edwin Allen and Holmwood will have two athletes each in this final.

Ashanti Moore of Hydel High ran the swiftest time in Class One and the fastest of the day overall after she stopped the clock at 11.39 to win her semi-final.

Ockera Myrie of Petersfield High won the second semis in 11.70, just ahead of Lashawn Haye from Rusea’s High with a time of 11.72.

In Class Four, Immaculate’s Toniann Bryan posted the quickest time in the semi-finals after she won semi-final two in 12.47 seconds. Kryshell Hoolong of St. Jago who came through a re-run in the heats, booked a place in the final after taking second to Bryan in 12.67.

Qualifying second fastest was Sashauna Smith of Vere Technical who won the first semis in 12.54. Tamara Bailey from St. Jago ran 12.64 for second place to Smith.

Abigail Wolfe of Holy Childhood took semi-final three in 12.58, just ahead of Monique Stewart of Rusea’s High (12.63).

The Reggae Boyz now have nine points after beating the Cayman Islands 4-0 and had a 6-0 win over Bonaire in their previous two games.

Suriname remains on four points after the defeat.

Super50 Semi-Final: Red Force v Scorpions Live Stream on ESPN3

by Leave a Comment


ST JOHN’S, Antigua – The Regional Super50 tournament resumes here Wednesday with semi-final action as two-time reigning champions Trinidad and Tobago Red Force will square off against the improving Jamaica Scorpions.

The day/night Regional Super50 game will be played at Coolidge Cricket Ground and is scheduled to begin at 1:30 local time, 12:30 EST and 11:30 CST. Live stream of this contest will be on ESPN3 and WatchESPN.

Red Force, who took first place in Group A after winning seven of their eight games, are the heavy favourites to beat Jamaica and advanced to their fourth straight final.

Scorpions made a patchy start to the tournament, but have improved in the last few fixtures to win six of their eight games and finished second in the Group B table standings behind Barbados.

“The build-up has been pretty good for the players,” Trinidad and Tobago head coach Gus Logie said.

“In the squad, we do have some experienced players who know what it’s about. [They’ve] been there, done that, led by the captain [Denesh Ramdin].

“He’s really and truly steered the ship to where ‘we are at this point in time and the players have responded very well to his leadership and his leadership has been both on and off the field, and I think it augurs well for Trinidad and Tobago cricket.

“We know how competitive and how dangerous the Jamaicans can be and we are prepared in every way possible for that. The players are all comfortable with their own games and we look forward to the challenge against the Jamaicans.”

Meanwhile, Scorpions enter this Regional Super50 semi-final aiming to reach their first final in five years and head coach Robert Samuels said despite the recent good run, his team still has room for improvement.

“I think the players haven’t really put it together as I would like a 100 percent but they are sparks,” Samuels said.

“We have won some Man-of-the-Match [awards], we’ve been doing well with the ball, we’ve been doing ok with the bat but I would like to see the bat do a bit more and then the ball will hold its own.

“We grew from strength to strength in Barbados and this is now Antigua.”

SQUADS:

TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO RED FORCE: Denesh Ramdin (captain), Nicholas Alexis, Sheldon Cottrell, Rayad Emrit, Shannon Gabriel, Kyle Hope, Jon-Russ Jagessar, Imran Khan, Evin Lewis, Jason Mohammed, Kjorn Ottley, Khary Pierre, Roshon Primus, Ravi Rampaul.

JAMAICA SCORPIONS: Nikita Miller (captain), Jermaine Blackwood, Gavon Brown, John Campbell, Andre McCarthy, Damion Jacobs, Brandon King, Reynard Leveridge, Rovman Powell, Damani Sewell, Jerome Taylor, Steven Taylor, Devon Thomas, Chadwick Walton.

Jamaica Sweeps 4x100m Relays At Carifta Games: Day 2

by Leave a Comment


ST GEORGE’S, Grenada, Sporting Alert – Defending champion Jamaica swept all four of the gold medals on offer in the 4x100m relays on another dominating second day at the 2016 Carifta Games on Sunday.

The team of Michael Stephens, Christopher Taylor, Jhevaughn Matherson and Dejour Russell set a new Carifta Games record in the Under-18 boys’ sprint relay after they teamed up to record a time of 40.40 seconds.

Matherson and Taylor were each picking up their second gold medals at the championships.

The silver medal went to the Bahamas in 41.42, with Grenada taking the bronze in 41.89.

In the U20 boys’ section, 100m champion Nigel Ellis and Raheem Chambers helped Jamaica clocked 39.74 seconds en route to the gold medal.

Bahamas landed the silver in 40.27 and Barbados took third in 40.97.

On the girls’ side, Jamaica’s U18 team bagged the gold medal in 45.87 — beating Bahamas and Trinidad and Tobago to the finishing line.

In the U20 category, Jamaica dominated with a 44.30 secs performance.

The Bahamas followed them home second in 45.62, with Trinidad and Tobago getting the bronze with a time of 46.68.

Jamaica was winning all four 4x100m relays for the second successive year.

MORE DOMINATING PERFORMANCE FROM JAMAICA

Shiann Salmon and her Jamaican teammate Shannon Kalawan both set championships records on their way to winning the Under-18 and Under-20 girls’ 400m hurdles crowns.

Salmon sizzled to victory in the U18 section with a time of 59.50 secs, which improved the 59.55 secs, set by Jamaica’s Junelle Bromfield at last year’s Carifta Games.

And it was a 1-2 finish for the Jamaicans in the event, as Sanique Walker crossed the line in 59.60 to take the silver. Bahamas’ Gabrielle Gibson finished with the bronze medal with a time of 1:01.16.

In the U20 division, Kalawan took down a long-standing meeting record when posting 56.29 secs for the gold medal. She broke the 56.61, set by another Jamaican, Camille Robinson at the 2003 Carifta Games.

Lakeisha Warner from the British Virgin Islands took second place in 58.14 while Nicolee Foster of Jamaica ran home third in 58.34.

Rasheeme Griffith of Barbados won the Under-18 boys’ 400m hurdles with a time of 52.22 — leading a 1-2 finish for his country, with Nathan Fergusson grabbing the silver in 53.56 and Jamaica’s Dashinelle Dyer taking the bronze in 54.05.

Timor Barrett won Jamaica’s third gold medal in the 400m hurdles, following his 51.79 secs performance to beat Rivaldo Leacock of Barbados, who ran 52.07 and another Jamaican, Jauvaney James (53.56).

At press time, Jamaica had 53 medals, including 25 gold medals.

CONCACAF World Cup Qualifier Results, Highlights: Nov. 13

ST. LOUIS, MO. Sporting Alert – United States and Mexico both started the CONCACAF World Cup qualifying semi-final round with victories, but Jamaica failed to impress at home.

In front of a crowd of 43,433 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri, USA rallied from a goal down to hammer Saint Vincent and The Grenadines 6-1 to race to the top of Group C after one game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA4Ikw548zw

A brace from Jozy Altidore setup the victory for the North American giants who are the heavy favourites to top this group.

“In Jozy we have a very special player. He’s going through ups and downs. You have to stay calm and work even harder,” said USA head coach Jurgen Klinsmann.

But it was Saint Vincent and The Grenadines, who took a shocking lead in the fifth minute when Oalex Anderson picked up a Geoff Cameron (USA) intercepted pass on the left flank before advancing forward with a few touches and fired past Tim Howard.

USA rebounded big time, though – scoring three unanswered goals in the opening 31 minutes through Bobby Wood, Fabian Johnson and Altidore to take a dominating 3-1 lead at halftime.

Klinsmann’s side kept pressing for more goals after the break and netted three more in the second half en route to the convincing home victory, despite playing without star forward Clint Dempsey.

Klinsmann handed CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying debut appearances to Tim Ream, Bobby Wood, DeAndre Yedlin, Gyasi Zardes, Matt Miazga, Jordan Morris and Darlington Nagbe for the United States.

Mexico 3, El Salvador 0

Another North American giants, Mexico eased to a 3-0 victory over El Salvador after getting off to a quick start.

Andres Guardado expertly fired home a free-kick past the goalkeeper to give El Tri the lead in the seventh minute.

Hector Herrera made it 2-0 in the 42nd minute with a wonderful finish that tricked both Javier Hernandez, who desperately tried to get a touch on the ball, as well as the goalkeeper.

The home side also took advantage of some poor defending in the back by the El Salvador defenders to make it 3-0 in the 64th minute as Carlos Vela put away a delightful through pass from Jesus Corona.

Jamaica Reggae Boyz Stunned At Home

Meanwhile, CONCACAF Gold Cup runners-up Jamaica were poor at home and were punished for it after falling 2-0 to Panama.

The Reggae Boyz went into the game with a lot of confidence but failed to deliver on the pitch, as the home supporters left the National Stadium in Kingston, very disappointed.

Armando Cooper scored the pick of the goals for Panama with a wonderful free-kick in the 43rd minute before Alberto Quintero added a second shortly after the halftime break to sink the home side, which needs to quickly pick itself back up before the next game against Haiti, who fell 1-0 to Costa Rica in the other Group B game on the night.

In other results in the CONCACAF World Cup qualifying semi-final round on Friday night, Khaleem Hyland and Kenwyne Jones scored second-half goals to push Trinidad and Tobago to a 2-1 road win over Guatemala, while Canada edged Honduras 1-0 after Cyle Larin netted the winner midway through the second half.

T&T and Panama were the other two teams with roads wins in CONCACAF qualifying action Friday night.

GLASGOW (SportingAlert) — Track and field superstar Usain Bolt will make his first appearance at the 2014 Commonwealth Games as part of Jamaica’s 4x100m relay team at Hampden Park on Friday.

Bolt, who has been hit by injury set backs this season, with only compete in the sprint relay in Glasgow and his addition to the team has made Jamaica the overwhelming gold medallist.

Individual 100m champion Kemar Baily-Cole and bronze medallist Nickel Ashmeade are set to join Bolt in the preliminaries, with Jason Livermore, who made both the 100m and 200m finals – and landed a bronze in the latter – expected to be rested.

Olympic champion Shelly Ann Fraser-Pryce, who like Bolt has also decided to compete in just the 4x100m relay, will make her first appearance in Glasgow as a member of the Jamaican sprint relay team that will also include Veronica Campbell-Brown and Kerron Stewart, who finished second and third in the open 100m dash.

The England quartets are expected to be strong opponents for the Jamaicans in both the relays.

Also in action in Friday night’s lone session is Olympic champion Sally Pearson, with the Australian a strong favourite to land the gold medal in the women’s 100m hurdles in the final.

England’s Tiffany Porter, who also won her semi-final heat on Thursday, looks like the only one who can stop Pearson, but would need the Australian to make mistakes.

Seven gold medals are up for grab on day eight at the Commonwealth Games on Friday.
