KOCHI: After she switched to the hammer throw a few years ago, Anitha Abraham avoided the discus, keen to focus on one event. But, on Sunday — a day after toppling her own hammer record — the 21-year-old from Kothamangalam’s Mar Athanasius College strayed to the discus circle and shattered a 27-year-old record at the 53rd Kerala State senior athletics championship here on Sunday.

Kottayam won the overall title and the women’s team trophy while Ernakulam finished runner-up overall and also won the men’s team title.
