NACAC preparing for busy summer Regional body keeping members informed through weekly newsletter Mike Sands. Battling through this current COVID-19 environment, Mike Sands, the Bahamian president of the North American, Central American and Caribbean Athletic Association (NACAC) said it is their intention to facilitate the advancement of athletics in this region as best as possible, moving forward with established plans and athletic competitions this year. The CARIFTA Games is now set for the latest it has ever been held in a calendar year – August 13-15 at the Bermuda National Sports Centre in Hamilton, Bermuda. The NACAC Under-18 (U18) and Under-23 (U23) Championships is still on the table, tentatively set for July 9-11, at the Kirani James Athletic Stadium in St. George’s, Grenada. Both are high on the priority list for NACAC, but the ever-present nature of COVID-19 leads to uncertainty in the staging of the two meets.
