Amelie Baker brought a celebratory ending to Team Barbados\u2019 participation at the 35th CARIFTA Aquatic Championships with a bronze medal performance in the Open Water five-kilometre race yesterday morning at Carlisle Bay.<\/p>\n

The Open Water 5K was the final event on the Games\u2019 schedule for this year and Baker\u2019s third meant the hosts ended the competition with 42 medals.<\/p>\n

Competing in the girls\u2019 16-18 division, Baker finished her five laps around the one-kilometre circuit in one hour, 15 minutes, 30 seconds, despite having to endure some rough waters in the later stages of the race on her way to the finish point.<\/p>\n

Britta Schwengle of Aruba took the silver medal in 1:09:29 and Kyra Rabess of the Cayman Islands transported her successful form from the Wildey pool to the ocean, winning the gold medal in 1:09 flat, a little ahead of Schwengle.<\/p>\n

In the boys\u2019 division, Kimani Bellanger of Martinique took gold in 1:05:29, finishing more than two minutes ahead of Nikolai Blackman of Trinidad and Tobago. (NM)<\/p>\n
