The championships were held from June 28-30, 2019, and Guyana’s sole representative there was archer Robert Singh, who secured medals in all of the events. He was thus honoured by Director of Sports, Christopher Jones, by being presented with the Gold Medal of Acknowledgement for outstanding achievement at an International Sporting Event.
