KIUG 2025: From Losing Her Father At 9 To Securing 100m Gold, Keerthana’s Journey To The Top
Now a second-year Master of Commerce (MCom) student at Jain University, Keerthana delivered the University’s first gold medal outside the swimming pool, stamping her arrival as one of the most exciting young sprinters on the circuit. But behind the bright finish on the track lies a story of personal setbacks and stubborn perseverance.
Keerthana was a nine-year-old girl studying in Class 3 when she lost her father to cardiac arrest, a moment that shook her family’s world. Years later, the young athlete would lose her coach too in an accident, another emotional blow that could easily have pushed her away from the sport. She had started her career as a 400m runner, but a groin injury almost derailed her dreams. Instead, it forced a turning point.
