Carter headlines TT’s CCCAN swim team

Carter last participated in CCCAN in 2011 after skipping 2013 and 2015. In 2013 he was preparing for the World Junior Championships where he earned silver that year, and missed 2015 due to academic commitments.

Two-time Olympian Mc Lean also missed the 2015 event in Barbados, but signalled her intent to return to compete in front her home crowd to provide added firepower to the 18 and over age group. Jeron Thompson, Jada Chatoor, Jada Chai, Kael Yorke, Kadon Williams. Amira Pilgrim, Gabriella Donahue and Jahmia Harley all won individual gold medals at CARIFTA and have successfully made the CCCAN team. Abraham Mc Leod, who is a 2015 CCCAN gold medallist and record holder, will also be in TT ’s line-up. Cherelle Thompson, Kristin Julien and Joshua Romany also have come back to reinforce the team’s strength.

The team is expected to have its first training session at the National Aquatic Centre on Saturday.

At the 2015 CCCAN in Barbados, TT placed 5th in the point standings but topped the medal table with 26 gold medals.
