“We are very confident in our team. It is probably the best team to date. We have some real medal potential and we are full in every age group,” Roach said.

The Bahamas team this year has grown from 21 athletes to 36 athletes, which is the largest team that they have ever had. With this being the largest event that the association has ever had, Roach says that the team is bigger, stronger and more in depth. The Bahamas Triathlon Association will be hosting 10 countries that will be arriving on August 23. The teams will be staying at SuperClubs Breezes Resort and Spa. Roach also shared that he is hoping that The Bahamas team will finish within the top three as they have placed fifth for the past two competitions.

Roach further went on to thank his sponsors JSJ, Albany, Westside Construction, Corner Bank, Ministry of Youth Sports and Culture, McVities, Cycles, Powerade, Panama Jack, Baha Mar and Bahamas Waste.
