A 97-member contingent has been selected to represent Trinidad and Tobago at the upcoming 52nd Carifta Athletics Games, which sprints off at Hasely Crawford Stadium in Mucurapo, from April 19-21. Altogether, the national team comprises 78 athletes in track and field disciplines alongside 19 team officials.
Headlining the TT squad are defending Carifta U20 women's long jump champion and record holder (6.5 metres) Janae De Gannes and four-time Carifta Games medallist Sanaa Frederick, alongside twin sister Sole.
Dylan Woodruffe and Hakeem Chinapoo are the only members of last year's title-winning, men's U20 4x100m relay team who return on the 2025 roster.
Woodruffe is a U20 World Championships finalist, two-time national champion and four-time All American. Chinapoo's sibling Kadeem is also on the team.
Last year's 68 athletes at the Games in Grenada returned home with 27 medals. TT will be gunning for a larger medal haul this time around.
The Carifta Athletics Games runs concurrently with the Carifta Aquatics Championships, which splashes off at the National Aquatic Centre in Balmain, Couva, from April 19-21.
