India emerged overall champions at the South Asian Junior Athletics Championships even though Sri Lanka snatched gold from the home team in the men's 4x100m relay on the concluding day here on Friday.
India won 48 medals (21 gold, 22 silver and 5 bronze) with Sri Lanka (9 gold, 9 silver, 17 bronze) finishing second. Bangladesh was distant third with three bronze medals.
The Sri Lankans, however, upstaged the Indians in the men's 4x100m relay race with individual 100m dash champion W Merone Julian anchoring the island nation to victory with a meet record of 40.28 seconds. The previous record was 41.27 seconds set in 2007.
