KUNNAMKULAM: “He has broken the National record,” exclaimed an excited Haridas repeatedly on Thursday night as quickly as Palakkad’s Okay. Kiran completed the junior boys 110m hurdles in a powerful 13.84s on the sixty fifth Kerala State colleges athletics championships on the Government VHSS floor right here.

Former worldwide Haridas and his son Arjun coach the promising dash hurdler at Palakkad’s Olympic Athletic Club and the senior revealed that the previous report of 14.02s was in the title of Mohit and was set in 2019.

Unfortunately, the State meet’s organisers don’t preserve an inventory of National colleges data so one is just not certain whether or not Kiran had certainly achieved the feat.

“We don’t have them so we can’t say for sure whether it is better than the national schools record,” stated Jimmy Joseph, a senior technical official on the meet. But he identified that Kiran’s time would rank fortieth in the under-18 world listing this 12 months.

Nothing new

However, Kiran is just not new to National data. At the Guwahati Junior Nationals in November 2022, the teen had damaged the under-16 boys 80m hurdles National report clocking 10.61s (previous 10.81) and if he continues his spectacular run the 16-year-old may higher worldwide Maymon Paulose’s under-18 National report of 13.57s in a 12 months or so.

Kiran’s performance right now broke the five-year-old junior meet report right here by an enormous margin (previous 14.74s) and was higher than the senior (14.08s, under-19) meet report too.

“I thought I’d do sub-14s but I didn’t expect this sort of time,” stated Kiran, a scholar of Vadavannur VMHS faculty, whose performance was the day’s lone report too.
