CARIFTA Swimming

Just like their counterparts here in New Providence, the Grand Bahamians on the 2024 CARIFTA aquatics team are confident they will bring home the sixth consecutive title for The Bahamas in CARIFTA swimming.

Some of the swimmers also spoke about training in the nation’s second city.

Team Manager Karon Pinder-Johnson is also based in Grand Bahama. She’s confident as well.

The eight swimmers out of Grand Bahama are expected to join the rest of the team on Monday afternoon here in New Providence.

CARIFTA swimming will open up on March 29 – that’s Good Friday with the opening ceremonies slated for 2 p.m. Competition begins on Saturday, March 30 at 9 a.m.

Basketball

AJ Storr and his Wisconsin Badgers were kicked out of the NCAA tournament last night by the James Madison Dukes 72-61.

The Badgers were heavily favored, being the high seed in this 5/12 matchup.

The game was never as close as the final score indicated.

The Dukes jumped out to a 33-20 lead at the half, never letting Wisconsin in the game.

Storr had a rough night going 5-14 with 4 turnovers as he scored 13 points as the Dukes locked up, holding the Badgers to 37% from the floor and forcing 19 turnovers.

Baseball

Daunte Stuart of the Memphis Tigers had a perfect night as he hit for the cycle. He went 5 for 5 with 2 singles, a double, a triple and a home run to help them get a 16-7 win over the University of South Florida Bulls.

The right-handed hitting 2nd baseman’s lone RBI on the night came on his home run a solo shot to left center in the 2nd inning.

He also scored 4 runs in the game and walked once out of the cleanup spot.
