Chance sets Bayroc track record in 400m win

Arinze Chance

400 metres specialist Arinze Chance set a new track record at the Bayroc Synthetic Facility in Linden on Saturday, winning his season opener in 46.49 seconds.
Chance said he was focused on executing his race strategically rather than just the win. “The idea was to execute the race as best as possible… knowing it’s a big crowd at a new facility being commissioned,” he said.
He also praised the new facility, noting its “springy” surface and the electric atmosphere. “Because it hasn’t been used heavily, it definitely still has a lot of springiness, and I utilised that to the best of my ability,” Chance added.
Chance is scheduled to compete again at the Bayroc Facility on February 14, with the opportunity to improve on his own track record.
