She’s a class above


On the right track: Savinder Kaur is hoping to clock a better time in the SEA Games in the Philippines.

KUALA LUMPUR: National middle distance runner Savinder Kaur was on cloud nine after improving on her personal best by more than six seconds to win gold in the women’s 1,500m with 4:27.45 in the Bukit Jalil Sports School (BJSS) Athletics Championships.

It is a good boost for the Selangor runner ahead of the Philippines SEA Games as her previous best was 4:33.80, which she did at the Malaysian Closed also in Bukit Jalil in August.
