Geolyna Dowdye and Soniya Jones secured a double podium finish for Antigua and Barbuda in the women’s 100 metres at the 2026 OECS Track and Field Championships, winning silver and bronze respectively at the Kim Collins Athletics Stadium in St. Kitts.
Dowdye finished second in 11.47 seconds, while Jones claimed third in 11.65 seconds after both athletes produced strong performances in the championship final.
The gold medal went to Saint Lucia’s Jady Emmanuel, who crossed the finish line in 11.39 seconds.
The medal ceremony featured a symbolic moment for Antigua and Barbuda as the medals were presented by national sprint legend Daniel “Bakka” Bailey. Bailey, who still holds the OECS Championships men’s 100m record of 10.19 seconds set in 2014, received warm applause as he congratulated the country’s latest medal winners.
The two medals added to Antigua and Barbuda’s growing tally at the championships, continuing a successful campaign across both track and field events.
