The VI team had excellent performances in the 2008 CARIFTA Games, which were being held from March 22nd - 24th in St. Kitts.

In the Shot Put Andrea Wynter had a put of 9.10 meter, which is equivalent to 29 feet 10 1/4 inch. This breaks the July 2nd, 1994 8.86 meter record (29 feet 3/4 inch) of Charlene Springer. Both Shot Putters set their record in Basseterre, St. Kitts.

Ninfa Barnard ran a 5:13.95 in the 1500 meter and finished 7th in the final. In the 800 meter she ran a personal best of 2:18.23 to advance to the final, she repeated that performance in the final by running a 2:18.53 finishing in 8th place.

Allison Peter won a silver medal in the 100m U17 with a time of 11.91. Behind Ahye from Trinidad and Tobago, and beating Robinson from the Bahames by one thousandths of a second. She won a gold medal in the 200m in 23.99, with this performance she became the first in VI history to double medal at the CARIFTA Games. Tabari Davis finished 8th in the final of the U17 400m with a time of 52.49. David Walters finished 5th in the final of the U20 100m in 10.64. Juan Robbles finished 4th in the final of the 5000m in a personal record of 16:08.

It's with heavy heart that the St. Croix Track Club, Inc. notifies the public of the passing of Myron M. Barnard at the age of 45. Myron was the father of our top middle distance runner Ninfa O. Barnard.

The memorial services will be held at 10 am on Wednesday March 26th, 2008 at Sunny Isle Baptist Church.
