#TeanTTO's Shaniqua Bascombe would not be denied as she flies to a 11.50 win in Semi Heat #1 of the GU20 100m dash and advances to the final

#TeamTTO's Kyah La Fortune recovered from a stumble out the blocks to finish third in a time of 12.27 in Heat #2 but the Simplex runner unlikely to advance to the event final as one of the fastest non-automatic qualifiers

J'Voughnn Blake🇯🇲 from Adrian Nethersole🇯🇲 —but Troy Llanos🇹🇹 gives it his all, falling over the line to ensure that #TeamTTO gets a bronze in the BU20 1500m

And with a new PB of 2.11m Aaron Antoine🇹🇹 takes the lead in the BU20 High Jump ahead of Brandon Pottinger🇯🇲 who clears it on his third attempt in a Mexican standoff between the two athletes at the Kingston corral...

Pottinger over easy at 2.14m and then... Aaron takes a breath and NAILS IT!!! A new PB for the tallman from south!

It's gonna take a PB to go higher for either of these two jumpers, as Pottinger vs Antoine face a bar set at 2.16m to get the🥇in this #KingstonCARIFTA2022 BU20 HJ final
