KIUG 2023: Sonia’s Anchor-leg Hand 4x100 Relay Gold To Chaudhary Ranbir Singh University (round-up)
When Sonia got the baton, Chaudhary Ranbir Singh University were in the fourth spot and almost 15 metres behind the leader. But she began accelerating once she hit the straight line and comfortably crossed the finish line to kick off a grand celebration by the team members. The quartet clocked a time of 48.61s with the University of Calicut (48.87s) and Mahatma Gandhi University (48.87s) taking the silver and bronze respectively in a photo finish.
Speaking after the race, Sonia said she had a special feeling even before the start of the race that she could go quite fast in the anchor leg and was happy that she could deliver for the team. “Today is our coach Surender Singh’s birthday and this is our birthday gift to him,” said the trainee of NCOE Patiala.
