Priyank, Tarundeep in limelight

JAMSHEDPUR: Two National records were set on the second day of the 28th senior National archery championship at the JRD Tata Sports Complex here on Tuesday.

Priyank Tyagi of Uttar Pradesh and Tarundeep Rai of Services set the new marks in the men’s recurve 90m and 70m respectively.
