#TEAM Bahamas continued competition at the 24th edition of the Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games in San Salvador, El Salvador, yesterday.
#The Bahamas’ medal count currently stands at four with one gold, one silver and two bronze and they aimed to add more to the total yesterday.
#However, Team Bahamas came up short in the triple jump, equestrian jumping and water polo competitions.
#The water polo team dropped their quarter-finals match against Puerto Rico 23-7.
#Puerto Rico had the advantage early, getting out to a 5-2 lead in the first quarter of the match.
#However, the winning team really upped the ante in the second quarter after scoring seven more unanswered goals on The Bahamas’ water polo team.
#The Bahamas’ Joshua Gibson was 3/3 in total on all action shots but his efforts were not enough to help the team.
#In the third quarter of the water polo match, Puerto Rico scored five goals compared to The Bahamas’ single goal of the quarter.
#Despite it being Puerto Rico’s least efficient quarter with a scoring percentage of 43 per cent on action shots, Team Bahamas was unable to capitalise.
#The Bahamas scored four goals in the final quarter, which was also their most efficient one with 67 per cent.
#However, the opposing team turned in a spotless performance in the match’s fourth quarter, converting on 100 per cent of their action shots.
#After the tough loss, Team Bahamas will compete for fifth to eighth place today against El Salvador’s water polo team.
#In the women’s triple jump, Tamara Myers leaped to a height of 13.31 metres which landed her in sixth place in the competition.
#The Bahamas’ Anna Vlasov finished 19th overall in the individual final round for Equestrian jumping after finishing with a total of 81.20.
#The CAC Games will continue today.
