Promising athlete Tharushi Karunaratne of Walala A. Ratnayake Central qualified for the World Junior Championships following another splendid performance at the 99th Sri Lanka Nationals at the Sugathadasa Stadium in Colombo yesterday.
Karunaratne finished the Women’s 800m final in second place with a time of two minutes and 7.21s behind the winner Nimali Liyanarachchi of Air Force, who clocked two minutes and 6.69s.
This was also Karunaratne’s best performance in this event as she secured her place in the World Junior Meet, which will be held from August 17 to 22 in Kenya.
