Though day 2 brought some athletes of Team Bahamas' meet to an end, we also saw some of those athletes advancing to the semifinals and finals of their respective events.
Throws
Breshae Woods had the qualification rounds of the girls shot put in session one of today's competition. She had a best throw of 13.27m. That throw was only good enough to rank her 24th in group A, and does not advance her to the finals. Woods finishes the meet as the 47th youth in the world of 56 competitors.

The boys 400m semifinals took place, and competitor Janeko Carwright had another personal best performance. Janeko finished 3rd in semifinal 2 with a time of 47.23 seconds. The top two of each semifinal automatically advanced to the finals, and because of his time Cartwright was unable to advance to the finals of the event.
