CHENNAI: The combined might of Sports Development Authority of Tamil Nadu, with Sports Hostels, sprints and jumps academy, throws academy, middle and long distance academy from all the districts in its fold, proved its might in the three-day 21st Tamil Nadu State junior athletics championship, which concluded at the SDAT-Nehru Stadium here on Sunday. SDAT Athletic Team won the overall team championship with a whopping 703 points.

St. Joseph’s Prime Sports Academy (602 points) was pushed to the second place in both the boys and girls categories. Twenty one meet records were created.

With heavy rain lashing the city on the final day, the organisers did a good job in completing the meet.
