Mitchell, winner of the 2650m Amateur Swimming Association of T&T (ASATT) Maracas Open Water Classic in September, overtook 15-year-old, Sankar of the Petrotrin Swim Club, 100 meters before the finish line on the Gaspar Grande beach. Sixteen-year-old paralympic swimmer, Shantol Ince, was the first girl to complete the course in a time of 1:29:03 and placed sixth overall. The swimmers went around Gasparee island in a clockwise direction starting on the east side of the Island and finishing on the beach at Gaspar Grande.
