Carifta Results
Carifta Swimming results are in and what a jubilation. Congrats to our seven swimmers, parents, coaches and Head Coach/National Coach Wendy. Team Jamaica amassed sixty four medals 64 medals after four days of swimming (APRIL 16-19TH). We broke countless meet records, age group and senior records in Barbados 2022.
Let's give an amazing round of applause to our swimmers who achieved PBs in the races, got medals and broke NAGR or CARIFTA RECORDS.
Special mention to our adopted swimmers Carolyn and Brady who enjoyed success at the meet. Brady medaled in every backstroke event. Nelson Zachary and Nathaniel who were part of the 4x50m relay team (Boys 15-17) that broke the NAGR with the bronze placed swim in Barbados. Nathaniel in his medal haul of one silver 50m back and two bronze (100m back/50m free) in his individual events. And to Sabrina who was dubbed "Heart of Champion" by this year's Carifta Parents for her awesome performance at the meet. Her events included the 100m fly (NAGR/CARIFTA RECORD - 1:02:14). She has all age group records in this distance. Gold in the 50m and 100m breast and the 200m fly. Her quartet of relay swimmers (Morgan Cogle, Mackenzie Headley, Leanna Wainwright) won gold in every relay except the silver in the 4x200m free relay and they broke three CARIFTA RECORDS and established NAGR in two relays.
Our Head Coach Wendy's successes puts her in contention as one of the region's best club coaches. With her standard and vision for our club we reign supreme with Perseverance Teamwork and Excellence.
