Jamaica\u2019s successful girls Under-17 sprint relay team.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Jamaicans landed 44 gold, 27 silver and 11 bronze to top the standings, emphatically setting themselves apart from their regional counterparts over the Easter weekend at the Thomas A. Robinson National Stadium.<\/p>\n

Sixteen-year-old sprinter Briana Williams headlined her country\u2019s dominance as she won three gold and accounted for two records, in landing the treasured Austin Sealy Award for the Most Outstanding Athlete.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The United States-based Williams broke a two-decade-old 100 metres girls Under-17 record and also helped reset the sprint relay record.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

At the core of Jamaica\u2019s medal haul was their clean sweep of the 1500m finals, the sprint hurdles and the sprint relays. They won three of four of the 100m finals and the 4x100m relay finals.<\/p>\n

However, their overall tally was less than in previous years as they picked up 86 medals last year and in 2016.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Meanwhile, hosts the Bahamas ended with 35 medals \u2013 six gold, 14 silver and 15 bronze \u2013 while Trinidad and Tobago claimed 17, comprising four gold, silver and seven bronze.<\/p>\n

The only other country to reach double figures was Barbados who clinched 13 \u2013 three gold, five silver and five bronze.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Next year\u2019s CARIFTA Games will be staged in Cayman Islands for the third time.<\/p>
