Jamaica win four medals at C’wealth Youth Games

Jamaica’s four athletes ended their track and field duties during the Commonwealth Youth Games with four medals as action concluded Thursday afternoon at the Hasely Crawford Stadium in Trinidad and Tobago.

Their medal haul included two gold and two bronze.

Shaquane Gordon set a new Games Record 13.16 seconds (0.3m/s) in the 110m hurdles, while Daniel Wright won gold in the men’s 400m hurdles.

Wright claimed bronze in the 110m hurdles, while Gordon was also third in the men’s 100m.

Bryanna Davidson was fourth in the 100m hurdles, while the 4x100m mixed relay team was also fourth.

The team, coached by Michael McIntosh and Megan Wilson Copeland, was sixth on the medals table.

Gordon ran a lifetime best to win the 110m hurdles, the third-best all-time by a Jamaican Under-18 man, behind only Jaheel Hyde’s 12.96 and De’jour Russell’s 13.04.

The time also broke the 13.32 set by Australia’s Andries Van Der Merwe set in 2011.

Noah Hanson of England was second in 13.20, which was also under the old record. Wright was third in 13.45.

Wright, who was a finalist in the NACAC Under-18 Championships in Costa Rica last week, won the 400m hurdles event in 51.51, beating Sri Lanka’s Ayamai Akalanka Kuda Liyanage (51.61) and England’s Oliver Parker (52.36).

In the semi-finals, Wright had won his heat in 52.83.

He bagged the bronze medal in the 100m after running 10.43 (0.9m/s), behind two Englishmen Teddy Wilson (10.37) and Ebuka Nwokeji (10.43).

Wright won his first round race in 10.77 (-1.2m/s) and was second in his semi-final race in 10.55 (-0.4m/s).

Davidson was fourth in the 100m hurdles, running 13.94 (0.7m/s), while the mixed relay team clocked 42.95 to be just edged out of the medal by the Trinidad and Tobago quartet who ran 42.77.

Nigeria won with a games record 42.68, while England grabbed silver with 42.71.
