Field spe­cial­ist Pey­ton Win­ter struck three gold medals while Tes­si­ca Lau­rence broke a na­tion­al record, and Mem­phis Pi­o­neers trio Josi­ah Kait­en, Imani Mills, and Kalani Weekes com­plet­ed sprint dou­bles at the Max­imis­ing Ath­let­ic Po­ten­tial (MAP) Open com­pe­ti­tion at the Hase­ly Craw­ford Sta­di­um in Mu­cu­rapo, Port-of-Spain over the week­end.

​Win­ter, of Burn­ley Ath­let­ics Club, first topped the girls’ Un­der-20 shot put event in the morn­ing ses­sion on Sat­ur­day with her best throw mea­sur­ing 13.33 me­tres to fin­ish ahead of Tenique Vin­cent of Con­corde (10.38m). Win­ter fol­lowed up with a win in the dis­cus throw with a 36.70m ef­fort. In sec­ond place was Sofia Quam­i­na of D’Abadie Pro­gres­sive with 32.72m.

​In the evening ses­sion, the Burn­ley field ath­lete again up­staged Quam­i­na, this time in the javelin throw with a 30.09m ef­fort. Quam­i­na reg­is­tered a best toss of 15.82m in the two-com­peti­tor com­pe­ti­tion.

​The fol­low­ing day, Tes­si­ca Lau­rence again broke the na­tion­al women’s pole vault record, just as she did dur­ing the Carif­ta Games Tri­als ear­li­er this year. The Con­corde ath­lete cleared 2.90m to break the na­tion­al women’s record. She had pre­vi­ous­ly bet­tered the mark to 2.40m in Feb­ru­ary dur­ing the Carif­ta qual­i­fiers, sur­pass­ing the stan­dard of 2.36m es­tab­lished in Mary­land, USA, by Ayana Riv­iere back in 2008, which had stood on the Na­tion­al As­so­ci­a­tion of Ath­let­ics Ad­min­is­tra­tions (NAAATT) books en­ter­ing the year.

​Lau­rence, who is the reig­in­ing Carif­ta girls open pole vault bronze medal­list, al­so copped a sil­ver in the girls’ U-20 long jump event at the two-day meet, fin­ish­ing sec­ond with 4.73m be­hind Aza­lea Price-Quashie (Kaizen Pan­thers) with 4.93m and ahead of McK­aila Warde (Neon Wolves) with 4.61m.

​Kait­en’s sprint dou­ble was among four gold medals he won over the week­end. On Sat­ur­day, the Mem­phis sprint­er sped to vic­to­ry in the 100m in a time of 11.13 sec­onds, ahead of Cougars’ Mu­jahid Joseph (11.71) and Sim­plex’s Joshua Solomon (11.90). The trio filled the same places on day two in the 200m, with Kait­en win­ning in 21.98, Joseph sec­ond in 23.23, and Solomon third in 23.69.

​Kait­en picked up his oth­er two medals in the re­lays. He part­nered with Aidan La Fou­cade, Kay­den Ro­mano, and Khadesh Frank to help Mem­phis win the U-15 4x100m in 46.47. They fin­ished ahead of the Cougars quar­tet of Joseph, Josi­ah Goodridge, Jadon Caras­quero, and Makai John­son (48.10) and the Track Blaz­ers of Pre­sen­ta­tion Col­lege (Zane Rocke, Isa­iah Lutch­man, Eli Ed­wards, Kezseon Agard) in 48.90.

​On Sun­day, run­ning the open­ing leg, Kait­en–along with Ro­mano, Ker­mari Samuel, and La Fou­cade, in that or­der–won the boys’ U-15 4x400m in 3:51.05. Sec­ond was Track Blaz­ers (Isa­iah Lutch­man, Zane Rocke, Eli Ed­wards, Keshorn Wilkin­son) in 3:53.16, and third was Cougars (Jadon Caras­quero, Nathan La Fou­cade, Lemuel Dou­glas, Josi­ah Goodridge) with 3:58.92.

​Mills claimed three medals over­all, cross­ing the line first in both the 100m and 200m in the Girls’ U-20 cat­e­go­ry, and al­so helped Mem­phis seal the women’s 4x100m gold. Mills won the dash with an 11.62 clock­ing ahead of Kaori Rob­ley (Kaizen Pan­thers) in 11.80 and Za­da Charles of Point Fortin New Jets (PFNJ) with 11.99.

​In the 200m, Mills topped the field in 23.63 ahead of Charles (24.37) and Kay­la Charles (Abi­lene Wild­cats) in 24.48. In the women’s sprint re­lay, Mills com­bined with na­tion­al star sprint­er Michelle-Lee Ahye, Eden Chee-Wah, and Kalee Thomas to win in 45.21, com­fort­ably ahead of the Stal­lions’ line­up of Jer­nes­sa Ro­driguez, An­gel Cum­ber­batch, Na­talia Joseph, and Jah­nel Alexan­der in 49.48.

Weekes dom­i­nat­ed the Girls’ U-15 sprint events, first win­ning the 100m in 12.55 ahead of J’Lenn Roberts (IG Fast­lane) with 12.68 and Kaylee Charles (Abi­lene) with 13.39. Re­turn­ing on Sun­day to find suc­cess in the 200m, Weekes clocked 26.03 to beat Ka­ley Wilt­shire (Abi­lene) and Kya Dy­er (Track Blaz­ers) in­to sec­ond and third with times of 26.32 and 26.61, re­spec­tive­ly.
