NASSAU, BAHAMAS – The Bahamas Aquatics Federation’s Last Chance Meet began last night, giving elite swimmers one more opportunity to make this year’s CARIFTA team.

Swimmers from various clubs throughout the country made their way to the Betty Kelly Kenning Aquatics Center Friday night and again this morning for the Bahamas Aquatics Last Chance Meet before the CARIFTA Games. For session one, races included the 100-meter fly, 200-meter breast, 50-meter back, and the 400-meter IM.

Algernon Cargill – President, Bahamas Aquatics Federation
“We’ve seen some very difficult competition, but we’re working hard to ensure that our athletes are prepared for CARIFTA.”

Team Bahamas is looking to win their seventh consecutive CARIFTA Championship in Trinidad & Tobago over the Easter weekend, but it won’t be easy.

Basketball Update: Klay Thompson struggles, Deyton Albury and Utah State face defeat

Klay Thompson struggled last night, going 2 for 16 from the floor as his Dallas Mavericks fell to in-state rival Houston 133-96.

In college, Deyton Albury and his Utah State Aggies fell in the Mountain West semifinals to Colorado State 83-72. He had 9 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists.

This is probably not the end of the line for Deyton and the Aggies. They’ve had an outstanding year, going 26-7, including a 15-5 conference record. They’ll wait to see which tournament they get into.

Tonight, Buddy Hield and the Warriors will shoot for 7 straight wins against the New York Knicks. That game is in the Garden, and Steph Curry always has fun in there.

And Fred King and the Creighton Bluejays are in the Big East final. They should be finishing up against St. John’s right now.
