The new mark for 1500 metres was set by Gavyn Nero from Trinidad and Tobago in 3:47.56,[3][8] and for 5000 metres by Jamaican Kemoy Campbell in 14:40.67.[5][8] Jehue Gordon from Trinidad and Tobago won the 400 m hurdles in the new record time of 50.01 seconds.[4][8] On the field, Raymond Higgs from the Bahamas cleared 2.21m in high jump,[3][8] whereas Quincy Wilson from Trinidad and Tobago threw the discus 55.67 metres.[4][8]

The new games record in the girls' U-20 category was set by Natoya Goule of Jamaica running the 1500 metres in 4:27.48.[2][9]

In the boys' U-17 category, Jahazeel Murphy of Jamaica set two new games records, one in the 200 metres in 20.97s (1.4 m/s),[5][8] and the other by leading the Jamaican 4 × 100 m relay team to 40.76s.[4][8]

The U-17 girls set also 6 new records: Jamaica's Shericka Jackson set the new record mark for 400 metres to 53.48s,[3][9] and helped both relay teams to establish new records, 45.05s for 4 × 100 m,[4][9] and 3:38:09 for 4 × 400 m.[5][9] Her compatriot Janieve Russell was also member of both record relay teams, and moreover set the record for 300 metres hurdles to 41.30s.[4][9] In high jump, both Peta-Gaye Reid of Jamaica and Akela Jones of Barbados cleared 1.80m equaling the games record set in 1999.[3][9] Finally, the new triple jump record was set to 12.61m by Jamaica’s Rochelle Farquharson.[4][9]

Austin Sealy Award

The Austin Sealy Trophy for the most outstanding athlete of the games was awarded to Kirani James of Grenada.[5][10] He won the gold medal in the 400 metres competition in the junior (U-20) category setting the new games record to 45.45s, improving Usain Bolt's record from the year 2003, and a bronze medal with the 4 × 400 m relay team from Grenada.
