Quincy Wilson new national record in the Men's Discus Event (58.60 metres).Quincy Wilson was in superb form at the 60th edition of the Palo Seco Games which took place at the Palo Seco Velodrome on Sunday. The former multiple Carifta champion set a new national record in the Men’s Discus event when he threw 58.60 metres. He improved the previous mark of 54.81 which he set at the  Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Championships in Havana, Cuba two years ago.

The 20-year-old former Belmont Boys Secondary student finished more than 20 metres ahead of second place Rondey Liverpool (Defence Force) 34.43m. Memphis’ Hezekiel Romeo  took the bronze with 34.32m. Wilson now holds the national Men’s, Junior (under 20), Youth (under 18) records in the event. Wilson also captured the Games Shot Put title with 16.91m with Romeo taking second (15.50) and Liverpool in third (10.21).

Triple Carifta champion Keshorn Walcott whipped the field in the Men’s Javelin event. Walcott threw the ‘iron spear’ out to 68.71m to win ahead Hakim Smith (64.25m) and Petrotrin Palo Seco’s Hamandi Haynes (54.55m). At last month’s Carifta Games Walcott captured gold with a massive throw of 72.04m to better the Carifta record and smash the T&T’s Junior mark for the fifth time for the year. The field events took the spotlight as there was only relay action in the track competition.
