India — Services’ Kundan set a new meet record in pole vault, clearing a height of 5.06m on Day One of the season-ending ONGC 54th National Open Athletics Championships here on Sunday. He bettered the previous mark set by V.V. Geesh Kumar. “I wanted to better the National mark (5.13), not for myself but to try and improve the Indian standard. Also, bettering the national mark might have helped get me into the National camp, where facilities are better,” said Kundan. more
