Green was on the medal podium twice after finishing second the Class One girls 200 in 25.98secs behind teammate Kylah Clarke, 25.88, with Davia Wiltshire third in 26.37.

Heavy rains started midway the boys 200m which affected the electronic timing equipment, forcing subsequent races up to the third heat of the Class one boys 800m event to be hand-timed.
