Gordon will participate in the men’s 4x400m relay while Callender will compete in the men’s 4x100m relay. Other notable names on the TT team include veteran female shot-putter Cleopatra Borel, quarter-milers Renny Quow and Machel Cedenio, sprinters Jamol James, Rondel Sorillo and Semoy Hackett, long-distance runners Richard Jones and Curtis Cox, hurdler Wayne Davis II and Ayana Alexander (long jump and triple jump).
