WAPDA Extend Lead at National Athletics Championships

Their surge gives the departmental side a commanding advantage going into the final day of the four-day meet.

Overview

WAPDA widened its margin at the 54th National Athletics Championships after the third day, collecting 16 gold medals and leaving Navy and the Higher Education Commission trailing.
Top individual results included Muhammad Yasir's 74.63m javelin, Fatima Hussain's 41.76m women's javelin, Salman Ahmad's 48.40s men's 400m, and Muhammad Azam's 14.85s 110m hurdles.
Navy's Amtul Rehman stood out with multiple wins, including the long jump and high jump earlier in the meet and additional titles reported on the third day.
Reports said Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem did not compete because he was unwell and that the Army team has not been participating, factors that affected the depth of competition.
