Lyceum International Wattala athlete Dilni Rajapaksha bagged yet another junior athletics record when she cleared 6.04 metres to win the Under 15 girls’ long jump on day one of the Sir John Tarbat Junior Athletics Championship at Matara on Monday.

Dilni has bagged almost all youth records this year from the Junior National Under 16 record to the Sir John Tarbat Senior Athletics Championship record by clearing the six metres barrier.

She became the first Sri Lankan athlete of her age to clear the six metres mark early this year.
