 on Belize after his exploits last year in this category and he returns in this division looking to go even better than he did a year ago. Currently moving up his mires looks to take the lead at this stage so he's running very comfortably at the top of the pack of mires of Belize love Joseph of the Turks and Caicos Island Jalen St. Louis Grenada Jaden Alexander Trinidad and Tobago Wendell Bade of Ruben Roten Martinique Cameron Adkins Bermuda Sikhani Brown Jamaica Gianluca Bottoli Bermuda Nayan Davis of Dominica Carlos Brisson St. Martin Shamar Green Jamaica Isaiah Alda Trinidad and Tobago and Idriel Mitchell of Grenada so Dimitri Mars of Belize with the early lead in the on the 17 boys 1500 meters Mars won the double last year the 1500 and the 3000 returned to Belize to a hero's welcome he was given a check and documents for a parcel of land he's one three four running on the inside with the advantage in this race alongside him Wendell Bade of Aruba also having a pretty good run and Bade goes to the front now the defending champion has run four ten indoors he is based in Pennsylvania USA and he's been given quite a run for his money here in the early stages of the 1500 final for under 17 boys by Bade out of Aruba Bade a very solid runner goes for 15 so he'll certainly come on with a strong challenge right now though the champion what is on trying not to lose touch Bade really stepping up the tempo here and the defending champion Dimitri Mars is unable to go with him in many ways Bade is doing to Mars what he did to the field a year ago this is highly impressive coming from the Aruba and now maybe Mars is starting to respond he's taking the sting out of the field but the question is how long he can maintain that kind of pace and hold on to that lead it's sometimes wise for you to be able to sprint out ahead of the field if you can hold it you've seen successful 1500 meter runners do so but as they take the bell here it's going to be tough for him to hold on to that final 400 especially with people giving chase Bade has the advantage for Aruba the Jomitkan Chamar Green moves into the silver medal position the defending champion surprisingly struggling in third position at this stage Sekali Brown the second Jomitkan holds fourth spot this is quite a turn up in the 1500 final for under 17 boys Wendell Bade Aruba 200 meters to go it's Chamar Green who will be chasing him Dimitri Mars is struggling badly here he's in fourth position Chamar Green senses that he can chase the Aruba and he starts to do so 110 meters to go it is Bade of Aruba Chamar Green of Jamaica steps forward Sekali Brown the second Jomitkan in third I don't think Bade has anything left he's looking around now thinking about just silver Chamar Green of Jamaica from nowhere comes through to win the under 17 boys 1500 Bade of Aruba gets silver Sekali Brown of Jamaica gets bronze and the defending champion shockingly finishes in fifth position that is the biggest shock on day one of the Carripta games he's run 410 indoors for the 1500 meters so it's not that he hasn't been in good shape this season that is really shocking as Green of Jamaica lands gold faded really badly the admirers Chamar Green though timed his run well he held on in that chasing pack never too flustered never tried to get caught up with trying to chase the race just run his own race and let it come to him and didn't he at the end come to him with the young man from Aruba trying to go out a little bit too hard and unable to hold on to the lead Chamar Green usually an advantage being able to run from behind especially when you are right on the heels of the person you're chasing as he was on this occasion and able to see clear skies through to the finish I guess that is a lesson in learning to run your own race because that's what Chamar Green did didn't get caught up with the fast early pace by the Aruba or by the defending champion Myers and for a moment I think he was running for silver or bronze and then he realized with about 300 to go oh my gosh there's a chance is there and you let the race come to you sometimes and it has definitely come to Chamar Green as the Jamaicans win back gold medals one two in the on the 17 girls one three in the on the 17 boys let's head to Gerard Marcelli thanks to Cardo again
