Carifta Games golden boy Justin Donawa continued his superb season by winning the under-17 triple jump on day two of the Powerade Bermuda National Championships.Donawa, who won gold in the Carifta Games at the National Sports Centre, returned to the scene of his recent triumph on Saturday, recording a jump of 14.50 metres.In the girls’ open triple jump, Jasmine Brunson claimed victory with a leap of 12.33 metres to finish ahead of Latroya Darrell (12.25) and Allison Outerbridge (12.12).The 20-year-old said she was determined to jump in front of her home crowd despite carrying a foot injury, which made her gutsy display all the more impressive.“I just wanted to come out and do at least one jump and show Bermuda who I was,” said Brunson, who wore a protective boot after competing.“It wasn’t my best jump but I really wanted to compete in the meet and it was nice to be back on the track.“The injury looks worse than it is, it’s just bruised and needs time to heel.”Brunson is among several local athletes still harbouring hopes of qualifying for the Olympics.Next month she competes in the NACAC Under-23 Championships in Guanajuato, Mexico from July 6-8 where she will strive to meet the standard.“I still want to hopefully qualify for the Olympics, it just depends on how fast I can recover from my injury,” said Brunson, who will compete in the long and triple jump.Akeila Richardson, who signed a letter of intent to attend Kennesaw State University last week, won the Under-20 triple jump in 11.26 metres.Other notable performances on Saturday included Shaquille Dill’s victory in the 400 metres in a time of 48.54 seconds, beating off competition from Kyle Godfrey (50.35) and Karim Creary (51.39).Heptathlete Shianne Smith achieved a personal best in the shot put with a throw of 11.31 metres, while Olympic hopeful Lamont Marshall won the men’s open 1,500 metres in a time of 3:59.96.Kyle Webb was first to cross the finish line in the boys’ under-20 100 metres with a new national record in 10.71, with Scott Clarke in second (10.71) and Emery Daniel in third (11.37).In the boy’s Under-20 5,000 metres, Dage Minors (4:07.03) finished ahead of his rival Juma Mouchette (4:18.60), while Shuntai Hendrickson won the female race in a time of 5:03.07.Promising teenager Kyrah Scraders, who took silver in the 1500 metres in Carifta, won the girls’ under-17 1,500 metres with a personal best time of 4:48.40.Bermuda Track and Field Association president Donna Watson praised the outstanding performances of the Island’s young athletes such as Scraders, Dill and Donawa.“Having all of our elite athletes home was great and I can tell you the spectators really enjoyed watching them compete,” she said.“We had some outstanding performances with young Kyrah challenging the university students in the 800 and 1500 metres.“You had Kyle Webb running a personal best in the 100 metres and challenging the overseas athletes. Shaquille Dill continued to excite us in the 800 and 400 metres, while Justin Donawa continued to perform well in the long jump.“Overall this was a great event and we will continue to improve this event each year.”None of Bermuda’s elite athletes were able to qualify for the Olympics although Watson believes the wet conditions on Friday’s opening day hampered their chances.“It was a shame that the weather wasn’t good on Friday night as Tre (Houston), Aaron (Evans) and Arantxa (King) were really going after the qualifying Olympic standard.”Several Olympic hopefuls from the US helped ratchet up the competition at the Championships, and Watson hopes many of them will return to compete at next year’s meet.“The overseas athletes brought another flavour to the competition. They all enjoyed it and want to come back next year and bring other athletes with them.”
