AFI not to allow national campers for varsities Nationals

Priya H. Mohan, the country’s fastest quartermiler last year and an under-20 Worlds mixed relay medallist, will be running in the National inter-university women’s athletics championships which begin in Bhubaneswar on Monday.

Another under-20 Worlds relay medallist Summy and under-23 National champion long jumper Sandra Babu will also be competing in Bhubaneswar because they are not in the national camp.

But other promising athletes, like under-20 long jump National champion Ancy Sojan and Inter-State National 200m gold medallist P.D. Anjali will not be able to compete as the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) has not allowed national campers to go for the varsities Nationals.
