The 2022 Carifta Games Trials to select the Jamaican athletes to the leading Caribbean junior championship later this year, will take place this weekend, and the following are the qualifying entry standards for each event outlined by the Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association (JAAA). The meet will take place from Friday to Sunday 11-13 March 2022.
The championship is split into two different age groups, the U17 and U20 categories, and below are the entry standards, as set by the JAAA. All entries will be verified based on the standards listed and based on the performances thus far from several of the leading local athletes, I am expecting a very close encounter in a number of events this weekend.
