MUMBAI, November 21: Kalpita Kanvinde wrecked the field in the 400 metres at the Mumbai City District Amateur Athletic Association's Annual Athletic Championship which commenced at the University Stadium today.

Kalpita, who is representing Union Bank Sports Club, won the event with a timing of 59.9 seconds in the girls' under-16 category. A bronze medalist at the last year's Junior national championship at Nagarcoil which she won with a timing of 60.0 seconds, she was a clear winner here as Ayesha Shroff finished second at 67.8s.

The tenth standard student of St Sebastian, Dabul, said ``I could have run faster but the track was a bit loose. Surely, I will be doing much better this season.''

Karen D'Souza, a St Agnes student, stunned Feroza Engineer in the girls' under-16 100m race. Her timing of 12.6s was her personal best. Feroza was second with 12.9s.

Junior national champion Sanjeev Nair, representing Road Runners, strode majestically to win the 1500m for boys' under-22. The lanky Sanjeev, who had represented India at the Junior World Cross Country in South Africa, is a much improved runner. His timing of 3:55.1 was one of the few sub-four minute performances seen at the University Pavilion.

Adrian Mascarenhas of Ace Athletic Club topped the 100m hurdles for boys under-16 in a record 14.7 seconds.
