Sportsmanship displayed by Barrowman after CARIFTA gold

The medals for team Cayman Islands continued to roll in on day three of the 2023 CARIFTA Swimming Championships, with a handful of medals coming from Harper Barrowman.

The 16-year-old daughter of Olympian Mike Barrowman hit the pool at the Sentro Deportivo Korsou centre in Curaçao on Saturday, 8 April, for the 1,500-metre freestyle finals.

Barrowman took gold in the 15-17 1500m in 17:50.69.

After the race, she embraced fellow competitors in the lanes next to her, including Cayman’s Riley Watson, who took bronze in the 13-14 age group for that event.

But that wasn’t all. When it was time to present the medals, Barrowman requested to have second and third place step up to the top spot of the podium.
