Azeem and Co sprint to another strong showing in NCAA


Amazing start Mohd Azeem Fahmi shatters 60m national record again after two years.

PETALING JAYA: National sprinter Mohd Azeem Fahmi (pic) and his Auburn University teammates have once again proven they are a force to be reckoned with in collegiate sprinting after storming into the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division One 4x100m relay final in record-equalling fashion.

Running in the third heat of the semi-finals at the Hayward Field, University of Oregon, Auburn blazed to a time of 37.97s, matching the championship meet record they had set last year - a mark that remains the third-fastest in NCAA history.
