Nirupama sets track ablaze on day one

17-year-old breaks 100M record; Joyline grabs gold

The newly laid track at the Sree Kanteerava stadium and the afternoon drizzle that brought down the temperature gave the athletes a bright chance to come up with a good performance on the day.

Nirupama reached home in 11.6 seconds to bag the 100M gold, erasing Yamini D Rao’s three-year-old meet record of 12.0 seconds in the girls’ under-18 section.  It was also Nirupama’s first time under 12 seconds.  “The new track is bouncy and it was a good advantage,” said Nirupama.

The 17-year-old Indo-German Sports Club athlete brushed aside the challenge from Rebecca Jose, who also came under the meet mark to take silver in 11.8. Joyline, from Alva's, Moodbidre, leapt to a distance of 12.30 metres to grab the triple jump gold in the girls’ under-20 section.
Joyline bettered the previous mark of 12.28 held by Shilpa Sequeria from 1999. In the girls’ under-14 section, Mrudula Halgekar of Belgaum clocked 1:42.3 to break the meet mark in the 600M.

The Divine Provident’s eighth standard student went under the old time of 1:43.00 set last year by Nithyashree C A.
