Rachna of Haryana marked her shift from the single-lapper to the 800m in style.

Rachna of Haryana marked her shift from the single-lapper to the 800m in style, breaking setting a new meet record by clocking 2:06.12, eclipsing Kerala's Tintu Luka’s mark of 2:07.48 (set in 2008 in Mysuru) in the 35th National junior athletic championship at here on Tuesday.

Rachna could have taken a crack at Luka’s National under-20 record also (2:05.21, also set in 2008) but the Haryana girl had to be content with lowering the meet mark.

There were two National marks rewritten in the under-16 age-group.

Haryana’s Parvej Khan secured the boys’ 800m record, while Uttarkhand’s Reshma Patel earned the girls’ 3km record.
