JOIN USChethan sets new mark
Youngsters Sports Club’s Chethan soared past 2.12 metres to set a meet record in the men’s high jump on the final day of the 24th State Junior and Senior athletics championship at the Sree Kanteerava stadium on Wednesday.
The super agile Hoskote resident, who took up the sport a mere two years ago, went 0.1 metre higher than the previous mark set which was set by MV Nagendra Prasad way back in 1987 (2.11M). S Harshith had equalled the mark last year.
Alva’s (Moodabidri) were the most successful club at the championship as they claimed top honours in the team championships in six of the ten categories. Indian Athletic Academy won the men’s title while Indo-German girls emerged victorious in the U-14 section.
