Carifta Games: BVI’s Hodge wins third gold

KINGSTON, Jamaica – As expected, Adaejah Hodge of British Virgin Islands secured her third gold medal of the 49th Carifta Games when she topped the girls’ Under-17 200 metre final at the National Stadium on Easter Monday.

Hodge, who won the 100m in a new national record 11.29s and the long jump at 6.20m, easily completed the treble with a new personal best 23.42 second clocking in the final in a negative 0.3 metres per second wind reading.

The talented 16-year-old turned back the challenge of the Jamaican pair of Sabrina Dockery (24.25s) and Theianna Lee Terrelonge (24.64s) who were second and third respectively.
