JANAE De Gannes was one of the standout performers on day one of the 2022 Trinidad and Tobago Carifta trials at the Hasely Crawford Stadium in Mucurapo, on Saturday.

De Gannes easily made the Carifta standard of 12.13 seconds in the heats of the girls Under-17 100-metre event by clocking 11.77.

Her time was also fast enough to earn the World Under-20 (11.90) and Pan Am Junior mark (11.83).

Later in the day, De Gannes clocked 12.05 in the final.

In the boys Under-17 100m event, Khadeem Ryan (11.08), Hakeem Chinapoo (11.03), Anderson Burris (11.13) and Jamario Russell (11.08) all went under the Carifta time of 11.20.

Russell made the standard prior to Saturday.

Revell Webster showed his quality with a time of 10.53 seconds in the boys Under-20 100m.

Webster, another athlete who booked a place at Carifta earlier this year, stopped the clock in 10.53. The Carifta standard is 10.74.
