November 20, Vijayawada (AP): There are events in Athletics where records are broken but rarely do we see four athletes breaking a record in one single event. This happened on the last day of the Coromandel- 33rd National Junior Athletics Championships 2017 in the final of the boys’ U16 200m dash at the Acharya Nagarjuna University athletics ground here today.
Delhi sprinter Nisar Ahmed grabbed the gold medal of the event and established a new national record of 21.73s by breaking previous record of 22.11s. Three more athletes crossed the 22.11s mark with Karan (Maharashtra, silver) 21.99s, Shashikantha (Karnataka, bronze) 22.00 sec and Satnam Singh (AFI-Punjab, fourth) 22.04s.

There were six new meet records performances as well on the last day of the championships today. In U18 boys’ 200m race, Akshay Nain (Delhi) set a new meet record of 21.59s equalling previous record of 21.59s set by Jijin Vijayan of Kerala in 2011.
