- Lovie Santana-Duke – Games Operations Manager

- Dennora George – Massage Therapist
- Brent Elder – Massage Therapist

“We are proud to unveil this delegation of rising stars who will represent Trinidad and Tobago on one of the biggest junior multi-sport stages in the Americas,” said TTOC President Diane Henderson. “These Games are not only about competition — they’re about the holistic development, exposure, and igniting the dreams of our young athletes.”
Team TTO is set to compete in thirteen sporting disciplines such as archery, athletics, aquatics, badminton, basketball 3x3, cycling, golf, hockey, rugby, table tennis, tennis, triathlon and sailing.
Team TTO’s participation is made possible through collaboration with PanAm Sports, the Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs, National Sport Organizations (NSOs), and its committed partners.
The TTOC extends its full support to the athletes and wishes the delegation success as they fly the national flag high in Paraguay, as the athletes seek to gain international experience and build toward future events such as the Commonwealth Games, Pan American Games (senior level) and the LA 2028 Summer Olympic Games.
