Devon Bond will represent his native Guyana on Thursday night at the CAC Games.
SAN ANTONIO — Senior-to-be Devon Bond will represent his native Guyana in the triple jump on Thursday evening at the 21st Annual Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games. The two-week competition, which began on July 18 and runs until Aug. 1, is taking place in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico.

Bond will compete at 5 p.m. (CT) at Mayaguez Central American Stadium and he will jump first in the field of 13 competitors. Complete real-time results can be found here.

The Trenton, N.J., native is coming off a junior season that saw him become the sixth All-American in UTSA men's track & field history. He finished fifth at last month's NCAA Outdoor Championships with a wind-aided leap of 53-1 ¾ (16.20m). It was the second-highest finish by a Roadrunner at a national meet in the program’s 29-year history, behind only three-time All-American Leonard Byrd‘s third-place performance in the 400 meters in 1996. The jump marked the fourth time he established a new school record in 2010 and it topped his previous best by three inches. Bond, this year's Southland Conference Champion, was UTSA's first-ever triple jumper to appear at a national meet.
