The Bermuda National Athletics Association today announced a squad of 19 athletes to represent the island at the Carifta Games in Curaçao from April 15 to 17.

Included in the squad is four-times Carifta medal-winner Sakari Famous, who won the bronze in the under-18 girls high jump, the island’s only medal at last year’s games in Grenada.

Famous is also among eight survivors from last year’s Carifta squad.

“We, the BNAA, are pleased to announce the 2017 Carifta Team,” Donna Raynor, the BNAA president, said.
