Lucknow: The 15th Federation Cup National Junior Athletics Championships concluded on a high note with yet another National Record being created at the P.A.C. Stadium in Lucknow on Monday. Nandini Gupta of Uttar Pradesh set a new Junior National Record in the women’s 3000m Steeplechase with a time of 10:53.91. The 19-year-old athlete’s brilliant display improved upon the existing record of 11:04.80 that was reached by Parul Chaudhary in 2014.
Maharashtra’s Komal Jagadale (11:29.57) and Astha Ojha (11:31.80) of Uttar Pradesh also eclipsed the previous Meet Record to finish second and third, respectively.
