Eighteen local athletes and three officials departed yesterday for the 48th running of the CARIFTA Games in the Cayman Islands.
Three USA-based athletes, Chantoba Bright (long and triple jump), Joanna Archer (800 and 1500m) and Claudrice McKoy (1500 and 3000m) will join the contingent on the island nation.
The team, which is the largest declared so far by Guyana, will aim to return with a record medal haul following this Easter weekend’s event.
Last year, the team won a record nine medals in The Bahamas.
