Rampant Jamaica were crowned Carifta Games champions last night after powering their way to a staggering 78 medals 38 more than their nearest rivals Bahamas.A cacophony of noise filled the National Sports Centre during the Jamaica team's victory parade, which saw them jig their way towards the Frog Lane stand to celebrate with their army of supporters. It was Jamaica's 27th consecutive Carifta triumph.But while the Games undoubtedly belonged to Jamaica, who won 34 golds, 25 silver and 19 bronze, they had to share some of the spotlight with Bahamas who enjoyed their most successful ever Carifta.Bahamas amassed an impressive 40 medals 14 golds, 14 silvers and 12 bronze 21 more than their previous best haul of 19 back in 1984, and will have renewed hope of posing a serious threat to Jamaica when the Games are held in Nassau next year.Anthonique Stachan was arguably Bahamas' standout performer with the sprinter setting a new Carifta record in the Girls Under-20 200 metres after seeing off her compatriot Shaunae Miller.Stachan, who has qualified for the London Olympics in the 100 metres, blitzed her way to victory in a time of 22.85 seconds, some way ahead of Miller (23.28) and Jamaica's Shericka Jackson (24.03).Trinidad and Tobago, who finished third in the medal tally with 22, also set a new Carifta record in the Boys Under-20 javelin through Keshorn Walcott, who won his fourth Carifta title.Walcott broke his own Carifta record twice in quick succession, drawing gasps from the mesmerised crowd, with officials appearing to run out tape when measuring his winning throw of 77.59 metres.He said: “I was feeling some pain in my elbows but I did great. I wasn't happy with the distance in my earlier throws, but I was pleased with my fifth throw which was my best.”Hosts Bermuda added two more medals to their tally last night through Taylor-Ashley Bean (Under-Girls 3,000 metres) and Juma Mouchette (Under-20 Boys 5,000 metres), to finish seventh in the medal table.Justin Donawa, who won gold in the Boys Under-17 triple jump on Sunday, missed on the podium in the long jump, placing fourth with a leap of 6.42 metres. Trinidad's Andwulee Wright won the event with a jump of 6.84 metres.Dage Minors was involved in a two-way tussle for bronze with training partner Mouchette in the 5,000 metres, finishing fourth in a time 16:23.08.Minors admitted he was disappointed not to medal. “For being so early in my track season abroad it was a good race, I wanted to medal but couldn't manage that so I am disappointed with that,” he said.“I didn't really have a game plan going into the race because I didn't know how I would fare in the 5,000 as my main event is the 1,500, but after the fifth lap I decided to ride it out.”Bermuda sprinter Scott Clarke required medical attention for heat exhaustion after his Boys Under-20 200 metres heat in the morning session.Clarke came fifth with a time of 22.21 seconds, while his team-mate Kyle Webb fared better, placing third in his heat in 22.01.Neither athlete qualified for the 200 metres finals in the evening, with Webb finishing 12th overall and Clarke coming 17th.Webb, who also failed to reach the 100 metres final despite coming second in his heat on Saturday, believed he got his tactics wrong for both races.“I think I used too much in the first 100 metres, and it resulted in me not having enough kick left for the final stretch,” he said. “It wasn't part of my plan to go out fast but I got caught up in the race hype. I didn't think about the race I just went out and ran too fast too early rather than running a technical race.“In the end it's my own fault because I wasn't my best effort in term of tactics.“In the 100 metres I wasn't pleased with my race because I felt I could run faster. Everyone was cheering for me and told me to keep my head up and continue to work hard.”The pick of the Island's athletes in the morning session was Boys Under-17 200 metres runner, Jarret Simmons who finished second his heat in 22.04Simmons impressive performance was quick enough to qualify for last night's final where he finished eighth.In the Girls Under-17 200 metres, Bermuda's Taahira Butterfield missed on qualifying for the final by one place, coming ninth overall in 25.92.Her team-mate Tyra Stovell finished in tenth with a time of 26.06.
