Kyle Greaux, on the an­chor leg, had just enough in him to help T&T edge Ja­maica at the line for sec­ond place in the fi­nal of the men’s 4x100 me­tres re­lay at the North Amer­i­can, Cen­tral Amer­i­can and Caribbean (NACAC) Track and Field Se­nior Cham­pi­onships, on Sun­day at the Freeport Sta­di­um in Grand Ba­hama in the Ba­hamas.

On the third and fi­nal day of the se­nior meet, Greaux led in a team that in­clud­ed Jerod El­cock, Er­ic Har­ri­son Jr and Asa Gue­vara to seal T&T’s sec­ond medal, a sil­ver. All were suc­cess­ful at the re­cent Com­mon­wealth Games, Gue­vara was part of the gold­en 4x400m re­lay quar­tet while the trio of Greaux, El­cock and Har­ri­son Jr were mem­bers of the sil­ver-medal win­ning 4x100m re­lay team.

The sil­ver medal won means that T&T end the fourth edi­tion of the Cham­pi­onships with two medals.

The oth­er, al­so a sil­ver, was won by two-time Olympic medal­list Keshorn Wal­cott in the men’s javelin event, on Sat­ur­day night. The gold medal­list at the Lon­don 2012 Olympic Games and bronze medal-win­ner in Rio 2016, launched the spear 83.94 me­tres to fin­ish be­hind USA’s Cur­tis Thomp­son (84.23m) and ahead of an­oth­er Amer­i­can Ethan Dabbs (81.43m).

In the sprint men's re­lay fi­nale, the even­tu­al third-placed Ja­maica team of Ac­k­eem Blake, An­drew Hud­son, Kadri­an Gold­son and Jahzeel Mur­phy clocked the same time (38.94) as the T&T quar­tet. How­ev­er, the lo­cal team’s time (38.931) was two-thou­sandth of a sec­ond faster than the fin­ish­ing time of the Ja­maicans (38.933).

The Caribbean teams fin­ished be­hind the Amer­i­can four­some of Lawrence John­son, Bran­don Carnes, Isi­ah Young and Kyree King, who sprint­ed to gold in a time of 38.29.

Min­utes ear­li­er, the T&T sprint women’s team of Khal­i­fa St Fort, Mauri­cia Pri­eto, Re­yare Thomas and Shani­qua Bas­combe, run­ning in that or­der, missed out on a medal af­ter plac­ing fourth with 43.81.

Win­ning the gold medal was the dom­i­nant USA team of Ja­vianne Oliv­er, Teah­na Daniels, Mo­ro­lake Aki­nosun and Cel­era Barnes in 42.35 ahead of the Ba­hamas quar­tet of Print­a­sia John­son, An­tonique Stra­chan, Devin Charl­ton and Ty­nia Gaither, who won the sil­ver with 43.34 and bronze medal­lists,  Ja­maica team of Na­tal­i­ah Whyte, Natasha Mor­ri­son, Ash­ley Williams and Megan Tap­per with 43.39. Cu­ba placed fifth with a 44.46-clock­ing.

Ear­li­er in the fi­nal ses­sion, no T&T sprint­er - Pri­eto, Thomas and Greaux - and had suc­cess in their re­spec­tive 200m medal races.

In fact, Pri­eto was the lone ath­lete to com­plete the half-lap fi­nal. Run­ning out of lane sev­en, she placed fifth with a 23.49-tim­ing while Thomas came out the blocks but did not fin­ish.

Win­ning the event was Brit­tany Brown of the USA with 22.35, fol­lowed by Gaither in sec­ond with 22.41 and Amer­i­can A’key­la Mitchell with 22.53. Al­so ahead of Pri­eto was Whyte in 22.65.

Just like Thomas in the men’s fi­nal, Greaux came out the blocks but did not fin­ish the race which was won by Hud­son with 19.87 ahead of the Amer­i­can pair of King (20.00) and Jose­phus Lyles (20.18), re­spec­tive­ly.
