However, bad luck struck in the final when the team was disqualified for an infringement on the first changeover. Accompanying the team home were Heather Samuel, left, a coach and also Director of Sports, Everton Cornelius, interim-president of the Antigua & Barbuda Athletics Association, Philip Isaacs, an official. Senator Colin James, right, Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry of Sports, Culture & National Festivals, met and congratulated the runners, who included reserved member, Jared "Dario" Jarvis, fourth left, and officials.

Senator James and members of the athletics association recently met with a charitable foundation to make a plea for funding to replace the track at YASCO, the country's lone facility.
