#Carifta2022 | Hodge lines up third gold with 200 final qualification

The British Virgin Island's Adaejah Hodge, with two gold medals at the 49th Carifta Games inside the National Stadium already under her belt, goes into tomorrow's girls' under-17 200-metre final with a real chance of grabbing a third title.

Hodge clocked 23.74 to lead all qualifiers into tomorrow's final just seconds after using her final jump to claim long jump gold.

Jamaica's Sabrina Dockery (24.16) and Theianna Lee Terrelonge (24.80) are Hodge's biggest challengers ahead of tomorrow's final.

Interestingly, Hodge defeated both Terrelonge and Dockery to win the Under-17 100m gold medal on Saturday.

In the meantime, Jamaica's Bryan Levell and Sandrey Davidson secured their spots in tomorrow's final among the under 20s.

Levell, who is favourite to win the event, won semi-final two in 21.01 while Davidson captured semifinal one in 21.26.

Brianna Lyston and Kaylia Kelly are also through to the final of the girls Under-20 200m event.

Lyston, who is the fastest junior this year with a time of 22.57, won semifinal two in 23.93.

Kelly, who has also been in impressive form this year, won her semifinal in 23.99.

Marchino Rose leads all qualifiers into the final of the boys' Under-17 200m, clocking 22.17 seconds. His teammate Rickoy Hunter, who won the other semi-final in 22.48, has the second fastest time entering the finals.

Dwayne Fleming of Antigua and Barbuda (22.53) and Kaiyin Morris of Trinidad and Tobago (22.77) are the others expected to challenge for medals in the under-17 final.
