Tiara DeRosa produced a masterclass in the throwing circle at the National Sports Centre, rewriting the record books three times in a single afternoon as Bermuda’s elite athletes completed their final preparations for the Carifta Games.
Despite blustery conditions, DeRosa proved she is finding peak form at precisely the right moment. Having already secured her place for the 2026 Commonwealth Games, the powerhouse thrower bettered her own national mark with an opening toss of 50.64m.
She found another gear in the third round, launching the discus to a staggering 51.03m—equivalent to 167 feet 5 inches. The effort established a new gold standard for the region and cemented her status as one of the top-ranked throwers in the Caribbean.
On the track, the next generation of sprinters also impressed. Jadon Lightbourne was the standout in the Boys Under-14 200m, clocking a dominant 23.50 seconds. Meanwhile, Myami York claimed a commanding victory in the Under-17 Girls’ 100m, crossing the line in 12.80 seconds.
The performances ensure the Bermuda National Athletics Association squad heads to the Carifta Games with significant momentum across both field and track disciplines.
