Team Kingston arrived at the stadium full of eagerness and couldn't wait to get started. Competition was tough but this did not deter our athletes. Each of our competitors gave 100% with two of our athletes winning 2 silver & bronze medals each. Jonathan Smith came second in both the 100m & 200m wheelchair races and Sanjay Patel came third in the height bean bag and distance club events. This was a wonderful achievement for both athletes and for Team Kingston.
The event formats were as follows:
| JONATHAN SMITH | 100m Wheelchair Race | 200m Wheelchair Race |
| SANJAY PATEL | Club Throw | Height Bean Bag |
| DANIEL WOLFF | 400m | |
| JACK AUSTIN | 100m | |
| ANYA DOWNING | 200M | 50m Breaststroke |
| ALICE PUTT | Javelin | Shot Putt |
| DANIEL OLIVER | Shot Putt |
Below are photos of some of the competitors in action
