On the penultimate night of the 2024 CARIFTA Athletics Championships hosted at Grenada’s Kirani James Stadium, Team Barbados turned in its most dominant performance of the competition, collecting five additional medals to push its total haul to nine heading into the final day of action. The standout moment of the session came from Under-17 shot putter Kamaal Armstrong, who claimed Barbados’ second gold medal of the games despite challenging wet and windy conditions that disrupted competitors throughout the evening. Armstrong delivered a winning best throw of 15.96 meters, outperforming home crowd favorite Kazim Telesford of Grenada, who took silver with a 15.67m mark, and Jaafari Shaw of Trinidad and Tobago, who secured bronze at 15.19m.
