Madelyn Moore Wins Her Second Carifta Medal
Madelyn Moore won her second medal of the 2013 Carifta Swimming Championships in Jamaica, taking Bermuda’s Carifta medal tally to three each in swimming and track & field.
The 12-year-old scooped up her second medal of these games when she placed second in the 11–12 100m backstroke in a time of 1:14.10, which came a day after her gold medal win in the 50m backstroke.
Bermuda has three Carifta swimming medals so far, with Jesse Washington having won the bronze medal during the 13-14 100m butterfly. All three swimming medals have come in record setting style, with both Madelyn and Jesse setting new Bermuda age group records.
Bermuda also has three track and field Carifta medals, with Zakiyyah Showers claiming bronze in the 3000m, Sakari Famous winning a silver in the high jump, and Kyrah Scraders winning a silver in the 1500m.
The athletes continue competing today in both Jamaica [swimming] and the Bahamas [track & field]. You can view all our coverage of the Carifta Games here.
