KOZHIKODE: Assam's Amlan Borgohain scorched the track to set a new men's 200m national record by clocking 20.52 seconds on a rain-hit final day of the 25th National Federation Cup Senior Athletics Championships on Wednesday.
Avinash Sable, known for excelling in the steeplechase, rewrote the men's 5000m meet record with a fine effort over 13:39.43 that raised expectation that he could soon be claiming the national record standing in the name of Bahadur Prasad since 1992.
