WORLD JUNIOR 200m champion Usain Bolt heads a list of 63 athletes selected
by the Jamaica Amateur Athletics Association (JAAA) to represent the country at the 33rd Carifta Games scheduled for Hamilton, Bermuda.
The April 9-11 Championships will be missing top schoolgirl athlete Anneisha McLaughlin who it is believed will be spending the time preparing for the World Junior and Olympics Games, both scheduled for later this year.
Bolt will compete in the 200m 4x100m and 4x400m relays while World Junior 100m silver medallist, Simone Facey, will head the girls team.
Also included in the girls' squad is Shaneka Parkes, the national junior javelin record holder, and long-serving athlete Nadina Marsh.
