Jamaica College's Euan Young and Hydel High's Sabrina Atkinson took the under-17 triple jump titles on the third day of the Carifta Trials at the National Stadium this afternoon.

Young captured the under-17 boys title with a hop, skip and jump of 14.81 metres, while Calabar's Shevaughn Pryce, 12.96, and Kijuan Williams, 12.89, were second and third.
