TRINIDAD and Tobago struck gold early in the final session on the opening day of the 2025 Carifta Athletics Games at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo on April 19, as Christopher Sammy and Oshea Cummings both won their under-17 1,500-metre finals.

Moments after Da Shaun Lezama copped TT's first medal of the games with a third-place finish in the boys' under-20 400m final, Cummings showed her class as she topped the girls' 1,500m field.

Cummings claimed gold in four minutes, 44.62 seconds (4:44.62), with Haiti's Aisha Wajid (4:45.20) and Jamaica's Denique Palmer (4:47.50) finishing second and third respectively.

In the boys' under-17 1,500m, Sammy was in a league of his own as he pulled away from the field to take gold in 4:09.65. Bermuda's Cameron Adkins was second in 4:12.86, with Jamaica's Luke Plummer third in 4:13.54.
