The 34th CARIFTA Games was held in the Dwight Yorke Stadium in Bacolet, Tobago on March 26–28, 2005. The event was relocated from the National Stadium, St. George's, Grenada, because of the aftermath of Hurricane Ivan destroying 90 percent of the island's houses.[1] An appraisal of the results has been given.[2][3][4][5]

Detailed result lists can be found on the CACAC,[6] the CFPI[7] and the "World Junior Athletics History" website.[8] An unofficial count yields the number of about 427 athletes (215 junior (under-20) and 212 youth (under-17)) from about 25 countries: Anguilla (3), Antigua and Barbuda (10), Aruba (2), Bahamas (51), Barbados (37), Bermuda (12), British Virgin Islands (7), Cayman Islands (16), Dominica (5), French Guiana (1), Grenada (31), Guadeloupe (19), Guyana (8), Haiti (11), Jamaica (69), Martinique (31), Montserrat (2), Netherlands Antilles (6), Saint Kitts and Nevis (8), Saint Lucia (8), Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (3), Suriname (3), Trinidad and Tobago (59), Turks and Caicos Islands (18), US Virgin Islands (7).

Moreover, a total of 8 national (senior) records were set by the junior athletes.[6] In the men's category, Junior Hines set the 3000 metres record for the Cayman Islands to 9:59.68.

Moreover, the 4x100 metres relay teams of Grenada (45.41s) and the Turks and Caicos Islands (51.88s) established new national records.

Medal table (unofficial)

The medal count has been published.[18] There is a mismatch between the unofficial medal count and the published medal count for the Bahamas and Trinidad and Tobago. This can be explained by the fact that there were only three competitors in the boys U20 pole vault event, therefore not having been considered in the published medal count.
