WILLEMSTAD – It will be back to the original Under-17 and Under-20 age groups when the CARIFTA Games are held in The Bahamas next year.

This follows a successful resolution proposed by Barbados that was agreed to by 22 of the delegates during yesterday’s CARIFTA Congress at the Hilton Hotel.

NATIONSPORT has been reliably informed that none of the delegates voted against the motion, but there were two abstentions.

For the past four years, the region’s youngest athletes had been competing in a new Under-18 division, which was created in 2013. (EZS)
