Mysore :

Mysore’s Thippavva Sannakki hogged the limelight by winning the women’s 6 km run at Deccan Athletic Club’s K. A. Nettakalappa Memorial Road Races held at Bellary recently.

Parasappa Harijol completed a fine double winning the men’s 12km event in the second leg.

Parasappa, who had won the Tumkur leg of the event two weeks ago, outwitted his rivals again to claim the top prize, pushing Kanakappa Donni to second place. Lingaraja Haliyal finished third in the competition, sponsored by Deccan Herald and Prajavani.

In the women’s 6km run, Thippava Sannaki of Mysore took the top spot. K. M. Archana came home second while B. K. Supriya finished third.

Mysore’s Priyanka, winner of the Tumkur leg, had seemed poised for another victory when she surged ahead. Leading for most part of the race, Priyanka, however, slipped and fell with two kilometres left for the finish. Priyanka then pulled out of the race after which Sannaki eased home.

Mohammad Noorul won the 2.5 km run for boys, pushing Lakshman to second spot and S. Thejas to third. Jayalakshmi emerged winner in the 2.5 km run for girls with Malleshwari Rathod taking the second spot and R. Usha ending up third.
