Shereen eyes Asiad glory after cracking Shanti’s mark

Pet event: Shereen (front) will concentrate on the 400m race at the Hangzhou Asian Games.

PETALING JAYA: Sprinter Shereen Samson Vallabouy was just a baby when G. Shanti set a national record in the women’s 200m in 1998.

Yesterday, the 24-year-old US-based Shereen showed she had grown to be one of the country’s shining stars when she cracked Shanti’s mark that had stood tall for 25 years.
