Christopher Taylor and Kevona Davis head Jamaica’s team, announced on Tuesday, for the Carifta Games. The 2018 Flow Carifta Games will be held in Nassau, Bahamas from March 30 to April 2.
Taylor won the Under-20 boys’ 400m title in 2017 while Davis, who moved up in class, was the Under-17 girls’ 100m champion.
American-based Briana Williams, who ran 11.13 for the world 15-age group record last week in Florida, returns with high hopes in the Under-17 girls’ 100m. She was second to Davis in 2017.
Twin brothers Gianni Henry and Giovanni Henry, are also in the 80-member team, which will have Machel Woolery as head coach and Coleen Montaque as Chef-de-Mission.
