Sanchez Smith added to Bermuda’s medal haul at the Carifta Games with a fantastic silver medal late on Sunday night.

Smith fought off the attentions of Zindzele Renwick-Williams, from Barbadosm on the final lap to finish runner-up in the boys under-17 3,000 metres.

The 16-year-old was always up with the strong pace, crossing the line in 9min 22.24sec to grab the second spot on the podium behind Jevaughan Tomlin, from Jamaica, who won in a time of 9:12.49.

Smith is Bermuda’s second medal-winner at the Track and Field Championships in Grenada after Miles Outerbridge stormed home to stun the region and win gold in the under-20 boys 100 metres.

He chases his second gold medal in the 200 metres final on Monday night.
