Chaudhary Ranbir Singh University: Sprinter Sonia ran a brilliant anchor leg to overtake three opponents and helped Chaudhary Ranbir Singh University clinch the 4x100m relay gold in the 4th Khelo India University Games 2023, Ashtalakshmi, at the Indira Gandhi Stadium here on Monday.

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.
