And while track is about to start, the basketball competition at those same games just finished and Belize won bronze - the first medals for Belize at the Games.
A release from the basketball federation says Team Belize played their hearts out and held on to close out a 63-58 victory over Honduras to secure the bronze.
Coach Milton Palacio - who is used to winning gold when he played - says it was a great effort:
Palacio, former NBA, Euroleague and Team Belize standout has pledged his commitment to continue the process of rebuilding the National Team Programme. Next for the National Team is the first round of the FIBA AmeriCup competition which starts in February, 2018.
