Poovamma’s day out

Principal Correspondent

Bangalore: M.R. Poovamma, representing Dakshina Kannada District, set a new meet record and equalled another in the State senior and junior athletics championship’s girls’ under-18 section at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium here on Thursday.

In the 200m event, Poovamma clocked 24.8 seconds to erase the earlier record of 25s, while in the 400m event, she equalised the mark of 56.2s.

“I could have done better in the 400m race in which my personal best is 54.8s. There was hardly any competition at the half-way mark and I couldn’t push myself much,” Poovamma said.
