Amlan Borgohain, who holds the 200m national record, has now added the 100m mark to his name.
The 24-year-old from Assam clocked 10.25s (wind speed +1.8, legal) to break the six-year-old national record of Amiya Kumar Mallick (10.26s) in the 87th all-India inter-Railway athletics championships at Rae Bareli on Monday.
Borgohain’s previous best, 10.34s, came at the National Open in Warangal last year. However, it is not anywhere close to the entry standard (10.00s) for next year’s World Championships in Budapest.
