Navreet Kaur (16), a Sangrur-based player, who has been receiving training at Sports College here, has won a gold medal in javelin throw at 18th National Youth Athletic Championship, which was held in Udupi, Karnataka.
Navreet has been receiving training from the Sports Department athletic coach — Bikramjit Singh — for the past three years. Navreet’s father is a police official and wants her daughter to excel in life.
“Her father was a national-level javelin player, but stopped playing owing to an injury. He now wants her daughter to follow in his footsteps. I must say that the girl and her father both are dedicated,” the coach said.
