The two standouts from MacKenzie High School recorded sprint doubles yesterday in familiar record breaking fashion at the National Track and Field Centre to ensure the Linden track and field outfit heads into today’s finale with a firm grip on the trophy for this year’s National Schools Cycling, Swimming and Track and Field Championships.

One day after rewriting the record books in the marquee 100m events, the dynamic duo highlighted the penultimate day of the championships by besting the competition and recording new standards for their respective age group events in the 200m.

For Williams (U-18), the World Youth 400m silver medalist and Skeete (U-16), a 400m gold medalist at the recent South America Youth Games, the only competition was the clock, which they both bettered.
