After eight days of silver and bronze medals, Costa Rica’s Nery Brenes blew past the competition in the 400 meter run to claim the nation’s first gold medal at the Central American and Caribbean Games on Monday night in Puerto Rico.
Brenes, who is from the Caribbean port city of Limón, set a Central American and Costa Rican record on Monday with his time of 44.84. He beat Henry Tabarie of the Virgin Islands, who finished with a time of 45.07.
“This win is a product of very intense, very committed training,” said Brenes’s coach Walter Salazar after the event. “He’s hitting his stride right now in his career, and he’s only getting better.”
