Munro College’s Emmanuel Oniya created the upset of the weekend when he beat the Calabar High duo of national record holder Ashinia Miller and Fedrick Dacres to win the Boys’ Under-20 shot put title at the JAAA/Burger King CARIFTA Games Trials that ended at the Stadium East complex yesterday.

The Nigerian-born Oniya, who had broken the Class One records in both shot put and discus at the Milo Western Champs last month, threw a lifetime best 19.09m, which also made him the third Jamaican to attain the IAAF World Junior Championships qualifying mark, along with Miller and Dacres, the IAAF World Youth discus gold medallist.

Before Oniya can board the plane for Hamilton, Bermuda for the CARIFTA Games next month he has to win another race, the one to get his Jamaican passport.

After applying for the document nearly five years ago, he is still to get the passport and told the Observer yesterday his father had been calling the Passport Office “every other day”, but was told the passport was not ready.

Representing Jamaica, he said, has always been his dream. “I have lived here practically all my life, I went to prep school here (in Montego Bay) and I always wanted to represent this country.”

The Calabar duo was not that crestfallen, however, as both had trained through the meet. Miller, who was second in the discus on Saturday, took the silver again yesterday with 18.32m, while Dacres was third with 18.09m.

In the Under-17 section, Calabar’s Shemar Kitson also had a personal best 49.73m on his last attempt to win the discus, beating Munro College’s Kino Dunkley, who threw 46.22m.

Edwin Allen High’s 18-year-old Tarasue Barnett, the national junior record holder in the discus, won the Under-20 event here yesterday with 48.42m to make her first ever national team, beating teammate and CARIFTA champion Sasha-gay Marston (45.24m) and Holmwood’s Gleneve Grange 45.11m.

St Jago’s Kellion Knibb finally came out of the shadows of the Edwin Allen throwers when she produced 13.78m on her final attempt to win the Under-20 girls shot put, beating long-time leader Devane Brown of St Hugh’s High (12.96m).

On the track, Edwin Allen’s Saqukine Cameron completed the girls’ Under-17 sprint double when she won the 200m yesterday in an impressive 24.24 seconds, running into a negative 3.7 metres per second wind after taking the 100m a day earlier.

Eltham High’s impressive 14-year-old Aneke Brissett was second in 24.82 seconds and Rene Smith of Alpha Academy third in 25.19 seconds.

Red hot favourite Shericka Jackson of Vere Technical won the Under-20 section in 23.75 seconds (-2.5 m/s) ahead of Edwin Allen’s Shawnette Lewin (24.25 seconds).

Green Island High’s World Youth 100m champion Odail Todd looked easy in winning the boys’ Under-20 section in 21.56 seconds (-3.5 m/s) ahead of Jevaughn Minzie of Bog Walk (21.71secs), while Wolmer’s Boys’ Karey Kelly won the Under-17 section in 22.49 seconds (-3.9 m/s) beating Ardenne’s Xandra Blake (22.52secs).

Manchester High’s Lennox Williams took the boys’ Under-20 400m, the final event on the track yesterday, in 47.0 seconds, while Olivia James, the defending CARIFTA Games champion, easily won the girls’ Under-20 section in 54.12 seconds after Holmwood’s Chris-Ann Gordon, the Pan-Am Junior champion failed to complete the race, as St Jago’s Genekee Leith was second in 54.69 seconds.

Vere swept the girls’ 400m titles as Yanique McNeil won the Under-17 race in 54.65 seconds, beating Hydel’s Semoy Hemmings (55.26secs).

Jamaica College’s Class Two runner Devaughn Baker ran an impressive 48.29 seconds to win the Under-17 section ahead of St Jago’s Ivan Henry’s (48.46secs).

Wolmer’s Boys’ Yannick Hart won a competitive Under-20 110m hurdles in 14.14 seconds, beating Kingston College’s Stephan Fennell, while Michael O’Hara of Calabar won the Under-17 section in 14.39 seconds ahead of St Jago’s Jahell Hyde.

In the female section, Yannick Thompson of Holmwood won the Under-17 section, while St Jago’s Chrisdale McCarthy won the Under-20.

St Elizabeth Technical’s Peta-gay Reid will defend her CARIFTA Games Under-20 high jump title after winning yesterday on the countback, edging Pan-Am Junior Championships silver medallist Kimberly Williamson of Edwin Allen with Wolmer’s Girls’ Chanice Hall third.

All three girls cleared 1.80m, but failed at 1.85m, a height that Hall had cleared a week ago at the Gibson Relays.

If she is selected, this would be Williamson’s first ever trip to the CARIFTA Games.

World Youth Championships bronze medallist Chanice Porter had tendered a medical exemption, but will be taking part in the Milo Central Champs later this week.

Late Saturday, Vere Technical athletes dominated the Under-20 triple jump and Under-17 high jump.

Sabrina Alle (-12.31m), while Donique Bryan of Edwin Allen was third in 11.79m.

Jehvania Whyte won the long jump with 1.70m, beating Immaculate’s Safia Morgan and Annastacia Forrester of Manchester High, who both cleared 1.65m.
