Guwahati, Feb 9 (Ians) Uttar Pradesh's Munita Prajapati came into her own in scripting a new national record in the under-20 women's 10,000m race walk with a fine victory on the penultimate day of the 36th National Junior Athletics Championships at the Sarusajai Stadium here on Tuesday. It helped her overcome the pain of being beaten to third place a fortnight ago.
Munita's time of 47 minutes 53.58 seconds earned the record from Reshma Patel who pegged the mark at 48:25.90 secs while winning the Federation Cup Junior under-20 Athletics Championships gold in Bhopal on January 26 this year. Munita, a 19-year-old from Varanasi, won a race in which the top five finishers bettered the meet mark of 49:16.51 sec set by Priyanka Goswami in 2014.
