Leading the charge for Seajays was Sapphire Parks, a two-time high point winner at the CARIFTA Aquatics Championships who carried her red-hot 2026 form into the meet. Parks put on an unmatched display in the 11-12 girls category, leading a full Seajays podium sweep, with teammates Maya Andrew and Khiara Hippolyte finishing second and third respectively.
