Reigning Carifta Games champion, Jamaican Fedrick Dacres measured a personal best mark to capture gold in the discus at the 2012 World Junior Championships.
The 18-year-old Dacres threw 62.80 metres to edge Poland's Wojciech Praczyk (62.75m) and South Africa's Gerhard de Beer (61.57m).
"I feel really good. At the moment of throwing I didn't have anything on my mind," said Dacres, who also took gold at the World Youth Championships in Lille last year.
"I train in Calabar High School in Kingston. I hope that in the future Jamaicans will not only be first in sprint. I hope they change to more disciplines."
