Bhopal, Jan 27 Haryana's Amit Khatri broke the under-20 national record to take the 10,000m race walk title as the 18th u-20 Federation Cup drew to a close on Wednesday at the TT Nagar Stadium.

Rajasthan hammer thrower Bhagwati Choudhary missed the national u-20 record and the meet mark by a mere centimeter when she sent the ball and chain soaring over 52.33m. It was the closest anyone got to Seema Jhakar's mark set in Lucknow in July 2009.
