The 2014 CARIFTA Games were held from April 19–21, 2014 at the Stade Pierre Aliker in Fort-de-France, Martinique.^[1] A detailed report of the event was given for the IAAF.^[2]

For the first time, the youth competition was open for athletes aged under-18 rather than under-17.^[2] The event served as regional trials for the athletics competitions at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics.^[3]

Austin Sealy Award

The Austin Sealy Trophy for the most outstanding athlete of the games was awarded to Akela Jones, Barbados. She won three gold medals (100 m hurdles, high jump, and long jump) in the junior (U-20) category.^[4]

Records

By default, all winning marks in the U-18 category were new championship records, because the category was newly introduced substituting the U-17 category. However, only the marks that improved the existent U-17 records are considered here.
