RISING STAR: Steven Gardiner, of Abaco, set a new national record in the 400 metres to highlight Saturday’s final day of competition at the Bahamas Association of Athletic Associations’ National Open Track and Field Championships. The tall 19-year-old, now known as the ‘Rubberband Man,” came from behind to clock a blistering 44.27 seconds and shatter the previous mark of 44.40 set by Chris ‘Fireman’ Brown on June 6, 2008.
