    Antigua and Barbuda swimmers secured three more medals and multiple records on the second day of finals at the CARIFTA Aquatics Championships, building on an already strong opening to the competition.

    The team captured gold, silver and bronze on day two, alongside two national records and three age-group records.

    Madison MacMillan led the charge with gold in the 400 metres individual medley in 5 minutes, 15.85 seconds, setting a national record, age-group record and personal best. Anya DeGannes followed with silver in the same event in 5:27.71, also achieving an age-group record and personal best.

    Jamie Tranter added bronze in the 50 metres backstroke, clocking 1:03.91 for a personal best.

    Alessandro Bazzoni narrowly missed the podium, finishing fourth in the 400 metres individual medley in 5:08.89, but still set both a national and age-group record, missing bronze by just 0.45 seconds.

    Kaylee Warner recorded sixth-place finishes in the 200 metres freestyle and 50 metres butterfly, including a personal best of 2:22.75 in the 200 freestyle, while Alyssa Watkins placed eighth in the 50 metres butterfly and 13th in the 400 metres individual medley.

    The results follow a strong day one performance, when Antigua and Barbuda also claimed three medals. Anya DeGannes won gold in the 100 metres butterfly with an age-group record and personal best, while MacMillan took silver in the 800 metres freestyle and Ellie Shaw earned silver in the 200 metres breaststroke.

    Additional day one finalists included Jamie Tranter, who placed fourth in the 50 metres backstroke with a personal best, and Christopher Walter, who finished fifth in the 100 metres butterfly with a personal best. Kaylee Warner secured seventh in the 50 metres backstroke and sixth in the 100 metres butterfly, while Alyssa Watkins placed seventh in the 100 metres butterfly.

    The Antigua and Barbuda Swimming Federation said the performances reflect continued progress, with athletes delivering record-breaking swims and consistent results across both days of competition.
