The men's 4x100m lived up to their fantastic preliminary time. In an exciting race the men's 4x100m ran away with the GOLD medal with an impressive IAAF World Championships qualifying stand and NEW NATIONAL RECORD of 38.77 seconds. Second was Jamaica 38.86, third Trinidad 39.26. The Bahamian team was comprised of Adrian Griffith, Jamial Rolle, Trevorvano Mackey and Shavez Hart.
Trying to rebuild a dominant force known by the world in previous times, the women's quartet of Tayla Carter, Cache Armbrister, Debbie Ferguson-McKinzie and Nivea Smith took the bronze medal in the women's 4x100m relay. Their tume of 44.08 seconds followed Jamaica's 43.58, and Trinidad's 43.67.
In the finals of the men's 400m, Bahamians Welsey Neymour and Latoy Williams had some disappointments. First, Neymour was disqualified for a false star violation. The race then got underway and Williams did not finish. We still are left to find out whether he is healthy, and he was not available to comment.
On the field, national triple jump champion Tamara Myers proved why she had such a great season. Myers went on to win the women's triple jump with a leao of 13.18m, defeating Trinidad Olympian Ayanna Alexander by one centimeter 13.17m. This is a huge improvement fir Tamara as just in 2011 she had placed 6th at this CAC meeting.
