Ronda Whyte, 55.02, finished fourth, while Ristananna Tracey, 57.50 was eight.

Hyde had a blistering first 200m but the Youth and Junior standout could not get the better of Kyron McMaster, 48.25 from the British Virgin Islands getting the gold medal, with silver going to Bahamas’ Jeffery Gibson, 49.10.

The other Jamaican, Andre Clarke was seventh in 50.08.
