National Federation Senior Athletics Championships: Vithya Ramraj Improves Meet Record In Women's 400m Hurdles
Published By : PTI Vithya Ramraj improved the 400m hurdles meet record at the National Federation Senior Athletics Championships. Asian Games bronze medallist Vithya Ramraj sailed smoothly over the 400m hurdles to win gold and improve the meet record on the third day of the National Federation Senior Athletics Championships here on Wednesday. The 26-year-old Tamil Nadu athlete clocked 56.04 seconds to better the previous meet record of 57.21 seconds clocked by Saritaben Gayakwad in 2019 in Patiala. She also breached the Asian Championships qualification time of 57.80 seconds set by Athletics Federation of India. Anu R (58.26 seconds) of Kerala and Ashwini R (1:02.41) of Tamil Nadu took the silver and bronze respectively. Vithya had also won silver in women's 400m race the previous day. However, men's 400m hurdle gold winner Yashas P of Karnataka missed the Asian Championships qualification time of 49.19 seconds as he clocked 49.32 seconds on Wednesday. 'There was no competition in the race, which was why I missed the Asian qualification mark," Yashas said after the race. Subhas Das (50.11 seconds) of JSW and Ruchit Mori (51.08 seconds) of Gujarat won the silver and bronze respectively. In the absence of Avinash Sable, Sunil Joliya Jinabhai of Gujarat 8:43.82 won the men's 3000m steeplechase gold while Vikram Singh (8:44.30) of Army and Rohit Verma (8:44.80) of Haryana took home the silver and bronze respectively. In the women's 3000m steeplechase, Manju Ajay Yadav of Madhya Pradesh won gold with a time of 10:34.08, while Nikita (10:51.96) of Rajasthan and Chanchal (11:10.40) of Haryana took the silver and bronze respectively.

Vithya sets new 400m hurdles meet record
Olympian Vithya Ramraj appears to be in National record-breaking form this season. The 26-year-old from Tamil Nadu broke the six-year-old women's 400m hurdles meet record at the 28th National Federation athletics championships here on Wednesday and predicted bigger things this year. 'I could have gone faster but I was tired after yesterday's 400m. Had we had the hurdles tomorrow, I'd have surely done 54s,' said Vithya who clocked 56.04s and finished more than two seconds ahead of Anu Raghavan. Vithya equalled the great P.T. Usha's National record of 55.42s at the last Asian Games where she won the bronze. She felt the signs were good that the 41-year-old record would fall this year. Targeting the Worlds 'I'm aiming for the Worlds and my goal is 54s. I had clocked 56s early this season, a sort of time I could only manage late last season. I'll surely end this year with 54,' said Vithya who also achieved the AFI's qualification standard for the Asians. Meanwhile Karnataka's P. Yashas clocked a personal best 49.32s while winning the men's 400m hurdles (49.32s) but was disappointed that he could not get the 49.19s for an Asian ticket. In another corner of the Maharaja's Stadium, Punjab's National Games champion Niharika Vashisht was celebrating a triple jump personal best (13.49m), a last-round effort that saw her beat Kerala's Sandra Babu by 1cm for the gold. The 29-year-old had completed a two-year doping suspension in February 2022 and now appears stronger than ever, improving her PB by more than 40cm in a year's time. The results (winners only): Men: 400m hurdles: P. Yashas (Kar) 49.32s; 3000m steeplechase: Sunil Joliya Jinabhai (Guj) 8:43.82s; hammer throw: Damneet Singh (Reliance) 68.30m. Women: 400m hurdles: Vithya Ramraj (TN) 56.04s (MR, Old: 57.21s, Saritaben Gayakwad, 2019); 3000m steeplechase: Manju Ajay Yadav (MP) 10:34.08; triple jump: Niharika Vashisht (Pun) 13:49m; shot put: Vidhi (UP) 16.10m.
