Bopanna, Rebecca sign off with grand doubles

Athletics: State Senior and Junior championships

On a rain-swept final day, Fusion Athletica’s Bopanna, who had equalled the meet record while winning the men’s 100M on Saturday, powered to victory in the 200M in a time of 21.3 seconds.

Rebecca triumphed in the 200M for girls’ under-20 with another meet record, having won the 100M on the opening day in record time. The DYSS athlete clocked 24.3 seconds to sink Bindu Rani’s mark of 24.4 set in 2003.

Alva’s Moodbidre claimed three team titles in the boys section (Under-20, Under-18, Under-16) and two (Under-20 and Under-18) in the girls to sign off on a high, while Indo-German pocketed two (girls under-14 and under-16, the latter shared with Dakshina Kannada).

S Harshith, who had won the under-18 high jump on day one, targeted the men’s mark of 2.11M, but fell short in difficult conditions. Watched by former Indian champion Nalluswamy Annavi, and India’s Ukrainian high jump coach Nikitin Evgen, Harshith struck gold at 2.08 metres.
