Haryana’s Sanyam impressed in winning the U20 men’s Shot Put title in the 37th AFI National Junior Athletics Championships at the Athletics Stadium in SAI Regional Centre here today. His winning effort of 19.10m on his opening try also enabled him to emerge the best male athlete in his age group.
The others who won the best athlete awards were Shaili Singh (Uttar Pradesh) in U20 women, Atul (Haryana) and Unnathi Aiyyappa (Karnataka) in U18 men and women, Ommkar Prasad Nanda (Odisha) and Rezoana Mallick Heena (West Bengal) in U16 boys and girls and Nishchay (Haryana) and Tanu Chaudhary (Uttar Pradesh) in the U14 boys and girls.
