Trinidad and Tobago's U20 Athletes Finish Strong at World Championships

The Trinidad and Tobago contingent at the World Athletics U20 Championships in Eugene, Oregon, wrapped up their participation with the men's 4x100m relay team securing a fifth-place finish. The quartet of Kadeem Chinapoo, Alex Seepersad, Makaelan Woods, and Trevaughn Stewart completed the race in 39.44 seconds.

The men's final saw a dominant performance from the United States, who set a new world U20 record of 38.16 seconds. Great Britain took silver with a European record of 38.90, and Jamaica secured bronze in 39.01. Despite trailing mid-race, Woods' strong third leg propelled T&T into contention, and Stewart delivered a battling anchor run.

Earlier, the women's 4x100m relay team finished eighth with a time of 45.29 seconds. Imani Mills provided a strong start, but the subsequent legs could not maintain the momentum. Jamaica won the women's gold, setting a championship record.

In individual events, Makaelan Woods narrowly missed a medal in the men's 200m, finishing fourth in 20.58 seconds, just behind the bronze medalist. Omari Brown competed in the men's 400m hurdles, finishing ninth in his semi-final heat and 24th overall. Trinidad and Tobago concluded the championships without any medals, but earned ten points, placing them joint-37th on the medal table.
