Dev Kumar Meena and Kuldeep Kumar made headlines at the National Senior Athletics Federation Competition by both breaking the national pole vault record, clearing 5.45 meters. This achievement surpassed the previous record of 5.41 meters set by Kumar himself. Meena secured the gold medal through countback rules, which evaluate the number of attempts taken to clear the height, while Kumar took home the silver. Both athletes also met the Athletics Federation of India’s Commonwealth Games qualification standard of 5.25 meters for the upcoming 2026 edition. The event highlighted the competitive spirit and friendship between the two, with Meena stating, “It was a good day for us and we will continue to push each other.” Other notable performances included Murali Sreeshankar winning gold in the men’s long jump with 8.08 meters, and Sarvesh Anil Kushare equaling the meet record in the men’s high jump at 2.28 meters. Additionally, Ravina won the women's 10,000m race walk, clocking 44:29.66 seconds, which was also under the CWG qualification standard.
