USA based quarter milers, Arinze Chance and Aliyah Abrams brought their talents back to sunny Guyana, scorching their respective fields to claim 400m titles in the highlight of the penultimate day of the ongoing National Senior Championships.

Under the noon sunlight at the National Track and Field Centre, the only competition the duo faced was the clock as Abrams, who has already clinched an Olympic berth was looking to improve her seeding while Chance was running to punch his ticket to the Games.
