KINGSTON, Jamaica— Rasheda Samuels won gold after a gutsy performance in the Under -20 girls’ high jump as Jamaica added four more medals on Monday morning’s penultimate session of the 51st Carifta Games being held at the Kirani James Stadium in St George’s, Grenada.

Samuels who appeared to hurt her ankle during the competition causing her to limp noticeably, cleared 1.78m to win the competition, beating her teammate Dejanae Bruce who led for most of the way but had to settle for the silver with 1.76m, the same position she finished last year, to another Jamaican.

Trinidad and Tobago’s Keneisha Shelbourne repeated her bronze medal performance from last year with a clearance of 1.70m.

Rohanna Sudlow took the silver medal in the Under -20 girls with 6.30m behind a record- breaking performance from Trinidad and Tobago’s Janae De Gannes who jumped 6.50m to break the championship record 6.48m set in 2016 by Yanis David then of Guadeloupe.

Lanaisha Lubin of the Bahamas was third with 5.90m.

Zoelle Jamel was third in the Under- 17 girls’ javelin with 45.00m as Dior-Rae Scott, who was second last year, broke the championship record with 52.53m and flipped the script with her teammate Kamera Strachan who won last year with a then record 46.07m.

Strachan took silver with 47.61m.
