An updated medal table shows the Jamaican juniors winning 87 medals at the 46th FLOW Carifta Track and field championships held at the Ergilio Hato Stadium in Willemstad, Curacao, to come out on top for the 33rd-consecutive time and 41st overall.

At the close of the three-day championships on Monday, the official count said the Jamaicans had won 86 medals, the same as the previous two years, but a revised count on a document ‘performance and medal tally’ showed one more broken down to show 39 gold medals, 28 silver and 20 bronze.

The record medal haul is 89 medals won by Jamaica (42-34-13) at the 43rd staging held in Martinique in 2014.

This past weekend, the Under-20 girls led the way with 25 medals — 11 gold, seven silver and seven bronze; both Under-18 boys (10-5-7) and girls (11-7-7) won 22 each; and the Under-20 boys won 18 medals.

Meanwhile, Jamaicans were responsible for seven records set over the weekend with Under-18 double gold medallist Daniel Cope responsible for two of them in the shot put and discus throw.

Cope first broke the shot put record on Sunday with a mark of 18.17m, better than the 17.75m set last year by Zico Campbell of Jamaica.

On Monday he smashed the discus record, by throwing 61.25m to beat the 60.44m set last year by Jamaica’s Philipe Barnett.

The Under-18 boys 4x100m clocked a World Youth Record 39.97 seconds in the 4x100m, beating the Carifta record 40.40 seconds set by a Jamaican team last year, including Christopher Taylor, Michael Stephenson, Dejour Russell and Jevaughn Matherson.

The previous World Youth best was 40.03 seconds, also set by a Jamaican team, at the first IAAF World Youth Championships in 1999 in Bydgoszcz, Poland, with the team of Winston Smith, Michael Frater, Davaon Spence and Omar Brown.

Britney Anderson continued her outstanding year over the sprint hurdles, clocking 13.16 seconds to win the Under-18 gold medal and beating the 13.29 seconds set by teammate Janeek Brown two years ago.

Sanique Walker also broke the Under-18 girls’ 400m hurdles record of 59.50 seconds set by Jamaican Shiann Salmon last year when she clocked 58.95 seconds in the final.

Fiona Richards added the Carifta Girls’ Under-20 discus throw record to her Inter-secondary Schools Sports Association Girls Champs Class One record when she threw a new personal best 54.19m, making her the sixth-best thrower in her age group in the world so far this year.

Her throw erased the 15-year-old mark of 53.47m set by Martinique’s Claudia Villeneuve.

Roje Stona’s 66.41m in the Under-20 boys discus throw is the World Junior-leading mark and not far off the 66.88m National Junior Record held by Traves Smikle since 2011.

The previous Carifta record was 63.11m set by Jamaica’s Chad Wright in 2014.
