T&T closed with four relay medals on day two of the 50th Carifta Games in Nassau, Bahamas on Sunday.

This increased T&T's medal tally by six in the evening session at the Thomas A Robinson Stadium, also picking up two silver medals in the girls' heptathlon and the boys' Under-17 high jump.

The girls' U-17 4x100m relay team of Symphony Patrick, Kaori Robley, Kaziah Peters and Alexxe Henry was promoted to the gold medal position after Jamaica was disqualified for running out of lane on the final handover.

The boys U-17 4x100m team of Trevaughn Stewart, Kadeem Chinapoo, Immani Matthew and Jaden Clement earned a spot on the podium by taking the bronze medal after the Jamaican team was disqualified for taking the baton "out of zone" on the second change-over.

Reneisha Andrews, Janae De Gannes, Sanaa Frederick and Sole Frederick, the girls' U-20 sprint quartet, earned silver, and the boys' U-20 team of Keone John, Joshua Mascall, Jordan Noel and Michael Jack ended the sprint relay series by bagging bronze in a controversial senior boys' race.
