VERACRUZ, Mexico – Virgin Islander Chantel Malone today November 25, 2014 did the Territory proud at the Caribbean and Central American (CAC) Games in Veracruz Mexico by winning the gold medal in the women’s long jump.

Thanks for always trying your best to represent us, T. Still proud of you, always.
Tahesia, you've represented the Virgin Islands well for several years and have made us very proud. But it's time to pack it up. There was a time when you could run 11.29 in your sleep. 11:93 ?? Nah man. Time to pass that Baton to Nelda.
