Records galore

Uttarakhand National Games: The second day of the track and field events at the 38th Uttarakhand National Games saw an exciting display of athleticism at the newly laid eight-lane track at the Sports College Campus in Dehradun on Sunday.

The warm afternoon session witnessed four National Games records being shattered, including three individual records and one men’s 4x100m relay record.

The day began with Maharashtra's Aishwarya Mishra making headlines by breaking her own National Games record in the women's 400m. Mishra clocked an impressive 51.12 seconds, improving her previous record of 52.50 seconds set in 2022. She expressed her surprise at the achievement, noting that she had set a target of sub-53 seconds but never expected to run so fast so early in the season.
