DAY Two of GTU/Ministry of Education Digicel-sponsored National Schools Swimming, Cycling and Track and Field Championships stormed up some action late into the evening following another late start.

South American Under-23 400 metres bronze medallist Stephan James took advantage of a mediocre team as his main rival from District Four, Chavez Ageday, who also happens to be the South American Under-23 100 metres bronze medallist withdrew from the event due to a hamstring injury.
