MAYCOCK BRONZE
MEDAL
Drexel Maycock picked up a bronze medal in the under-20 boys’ discus on the final day of competition at the 2014 CARIFTA Games in Martinique on Monday. However, his performance of 49.31 metres was not included in the report as his result was not posted up to press time.
Maycock’s medal helped the Bahamas to finish with a total of 20 medals, inclusive of one gold, eight silver and 11 bronze.
The Bahamas ended up seventh overall in the standings. Jamaica once again dominated by winning 42 gold, 34 silver and 123 bronze for their total of 88. Trinidad & Tobago was second with six gold, seven silver and 12 bronze for 25, while Barbados was third with five gold, five silver and six bronze for 16.
The team was scheduled to return home last night.

Jamaicans take track and field to a next level. They eat, breathe and live track and field. The Bahamas will have to do a better job than what they did in Martinique. What would have happened if the Jamaican athlete did not get a cramp and pull up at the end, they would have been without a gold medal. Jamaica have a high school competition for students, it is a program to die for. Get ready Bahamas because they even have a stronger, better and younger team coming next year. I visited Jamaica for what is called CHAMPS, Minister of Sports you need to visit this event and you will see the athletes do so well and are so proud of what they do.
