Caribbean L BQ ife, May 3–9, 2019 57

Barbados’ fifth place earning in the
CARIFTA 2019 swimming competition
was owed mainly to a tremendous display
by golden girl Danielle Titus who
topped the 15 to 17 age group 200-
metre long course backstroke Tuesday
night, April 23.
As the Swimming Championship
of this 34th edition of this regional
competition concluded at the National
Aquatic Centre, Wildey, Barbados the
16-year-old thrilled her home crowd
by copping a total of three individual
medals, all in her favourite backstroke
events.
She took bronze in the 50-metre two
days earlier, then went on for golden
swims by winning the 100, Monday and
200 Tuesday.
Titus’ winning time in the 200 of
2:21.87 was her best ever and it qualified
the promising youngster for the
Pan American Games swimming, set
for Canada in July.
Much to the delight of Bajan supporters
Titus’ teammate, Danielle Treasure,
also did a best personal time of 2:25.37
in that four-lap 200-metre to hold the
silver medal and qualify for the Pan
Am Games.
Barbados earned a total of 26 swimming
medals, five gold, nine silver and
12 bronze.
The Bahamas was the top performing
country with 63 overall medals.
Jamaica was second with 59 medals. In
spite of a total medal count of 43 Trinidad
and Tobago edged Cayman Islands
for third position based on a higher
gold medal count.
The Cayman Islands settled for
fourth place with 44 medals.
The CARIFTA 2019 aquatics, comprising
Water Polo, swimming and
open water events, was held in Barbados
simultaneously with the track
and field competition in the Cayman
Islands.
CHICAGO (AP) — The U.S.
soccer team will play Jamaica on
June 5 in the first of two warmup
matches for the CONCACAF Gold
Cup, four days before meeting Venezuela
in Cincinnati.
The match, announced Thursday,
will be the first for the Americans
at D.C. United’s Audi Field,
which opened last year. The U.S.
has played 24 games at Washington’s
RFK Stadium, its most at any
venue.
The U.S. opens the Gold Cup
against Guyana on June 18 at St.
Paul, Minnesota, the first competitive
match for the Americans in 20
months since their loss at Trinidad
and Tobago caused them to
miss the 2018 World Cup. The U.S.
will play Trinidad and Tobago on
June 22 at Cleveland and complete
Group D against Panama on June
26 at Kansas City, Kansas.
The Gold Cup is the championship
of North and Central America
and the Caribbean, and the U.S. is
the defending champion.
