Prakash sets meet record

In a field which had East Zone8217;s Gojen Singh, the 25-lap event promised much and Gojen seemed to be an easy winner until the 15th lap. This was when Shashi gained upperhand and surged ahead with Amani Saini of East Zone closely behind. But just after the 18th lap, Gojen, who lagged behind, dropped out. Saini finished second in 30:32.1, which incidentally bettered Verma8217;s time sent in 1992. R. Yellappa of South Zone timed 33:07.35 for the bronze.
