She set a new mark for 1500-metre at the national level with a time of 18:39.30, a record previously held by Maharashtra’s Surabhi Tipri, who had clocked 18:43.66 in 2008.
In the 800-metre event, Nayva obliterated the previous State record of 9:52.47 set by Madhavi Giri in 2007 with a war cry after finishing at an astonishing 9:42.75. After initially opening up a slender lead over nearest contenders Sushaka Pratap of BAC and Sreelaxmi Gurur of KCR, Navya extended her advantage on approaching the second and third turns.

At the sound of the bell, Shenoy stepped up her pace and nearly lapped the second best swimmer in the pool on her way to a new mark on the State circuit.

“I knew I was going to set a State record but the National record was a nice surprise. I clocked 16 seconds faster than my previous best, and I think that's a good improvement,” said the student of Jnanodhaya Pre University College.

Aaron D’Souza, who had smashed the 200M butterfly national record on Monday, set a new meet record in the boys’ Group I 100M freestyle event. Stopping the clock at 53.8 seconds, D’Souza bettered the previous mark of 55.24 established in 2007 by Sandeep NA. Also setting a new meet mark was Sneha T in girls’ Group II 100M butterfly.
