FGC JO's DAY 2 REPORT

The buildup to CARIFTA continues to be intense as the Jamaicans continue to record personal best times. Despite this, only 2 medals were garnered by our swimmers through the Atkinson siblings Alia and Adi. For the rest of the Caribbean contingent it continued to be a Bajan and Bahamian as Chris and Bradley accounted for 5 Golds and a Bronze.

Alia accounted for the lone individual medal as she blasted her prelims time of 25.36 (28.82) to grab the silver in a fast 24.94 (28.34) the fastest time by a Jamaican girl in the day. Adi with a 1:00.04( 1:09.41) breast leg combined with Bradley's back 53.26 (1:01.22) to grab the Bronze in 3:33.96 in the open 400 medley relay. Bradley took the 500 free in 4;40.20 (4:13.57) and  the 100 back 52.17 (59.93). Chris got his victories in the 50 free 21.56 (24.78), the 100 back 51.10 (58.76) for a total time of 3:28.31.
