For some athletes, this year’s CARIFTA Games in Grenada are a chance to make their mark for the first time on the regional stage, while for others, it’s a chance to make up for where they faltered last year.
This is the case for 16-year-old Burnley Athletic sprinter Jayden Goodridge. In 2025, he won a CARIFTA bronze in the Boys’ 4×100 metre final but failed to medal in the 100 and 200 metre events.
Heading into this year’s Games, the Tunapuna native is eyeing individual success for the first time.
