On May 28, the UWI Mona Campus track and field athletes painted the day's Games red as they dominated the events. The Mona team maintained their title of “Champion Campus” having also taken the title at the last games in 2013 and overall, the results remained unchanged from the 2013 games with the Cave Hill and St. Augustine Campuses taking second and third place overall respectively. Final point standings were 104, 92 and 56. The Athletics meet was the final event for the 2015 UWI Games, the biennial meeting of the four campuses of The UWI, which kicked off on May 21.

Of the 10 sporting disciplines, the Mona Campus took the titles for swimming, female basketball, netball, cricket, female football and female volleyball, in addition to athletics. Securing second place overall was the Cave Hill Campus who championed male basketball, female and male hockey, male volleyball and lawn tennis. The St. Augustine Campus placed third overall finally taking the male football title that has been long held by the Mona Campus, as well as table tennis. For the Open Campus, the UWI’s network of smaller sites across the region, this was their first showing at the Games. The team successfully competed in netball, tennis, female volleyball and male football, but unfortunately did not take any of the individual titles.
