MAYAGUEZ – Jamaica’s distance relay team set a new Central American and Caribbean Games record as they captured one of three gold medals for the powerhouses on Friday night.
Running on the penultimate day of competition, they won the 4×400 metres relay in a time of three minutes, 01.68, to finish ahead of the Bahamas who clocked a season-best 3:01.82. Trinidad and Tobago claimed bronze in another season-best time of 3:04.07.
