12:35pm : Tejas comes, runs, hurdles and is the fastest in his heat. 13.62s and is into finals, he has a personal best of 13.41s which is also the National Record. Can he try better that in evening.

12:00pm : First glimpse of Jyothi Yarraji and she looks troubled with the heavy rainfall. This is some really crazy rains, as Jyothi on 5th lane along with 5 other athletes start the run, not the best of the start but Jyothi finishes first possibly with 13.20 and easily makes it to the final. Its 13.18s easy for the finals.
