Kerala’s Jijin Vijayan and Bihar’s Sunanda Sarkar outclassed their opposition to emerge the fastest boy and girl in the 8th National Youth Championships which begun at Birsa Munda Athletics Stadium here on Friday.
As much as 394 athletes from across the country are taking part in this three day meet which is being served as the selection trials for the young aspirants looking forward to take part in the World Youth Championships at Lille, France, in July this year.
Both Jijin (11.23 secs) and Sunanda (12.31 secs) have dipped under the qualifying norms fixed by the International Association of Athletics Federations for the World meet. But the selection of the national team will be announced only after the selection committee meets at Delhi by next month.

Haryana lad Sachin pushed favourite Sikanderjit Singh of Punjab to second place in discus throw. Sachin’s effort of 53.32m was 32 cm above the qualifying standard. However Sikander, who throw 52.26m today, have already achieved the norm while taking the youth (under-18) title during the Junior Nationals at Bangalore in last December with a fine performance of 54.14m. The IAAF’s qualifying period runs from 1st January 2010 to 20th June 2011.
Hosts Jharkhand have something to cheer as Amit Kumar Singh clocked a superlative 14.33 secs to win the 110m hurdles. Amit missed the meet mark by just two-hundredths of a second but had the satisfaction of making the Lille qualifier as well as winning the gold here in front of his home-crowd.
Other notable winner of the day was distance runner M.D. Thara from Kerala. The national cross-country champion lacks competition and thus missed an opportunity to set a meet mark. Her time of 10:16.93 was almost 10 seconds faster than her nearest rival Meena Kumari of Haryana (10:27.77). Thara’s teammate Jessy Joseph won the 800m in 2:15.85.
The boys’ 800m was a close affair with Mandeep Goyat of Maharashtra breach the tape first in 1:58.46. Uttar Pradesh’s Radhey Shyam pips local runner Ravi Pratap Singh at the post 1:58.72 to 1:58.73 for the second place.
Punjab’s Ketki Sethi won the girls shot put with a heave measured to 12.18m while U.P. girl Nisha Yadav sent the ball and chain to 39.72m for the gold in hammer throw.
The selection of the national team will be announced only after the selection committee meets at Delhi by next month.
