The men’s shot put was one of the best parts of the day. Samardeep Singh Gill from KIIT University broke the old KIUG meet record by throwing the ball 19.42 meters. His performance showed a lot of strength, accuracy, and years of hard work. Samardeep’s throw broke a national university-level tournament record, which is a big deal.
It made him one of the best shot putters in the country right away. In the women’s heptathlon, another incredible performance stole the show. Isha Chander Prakash broke the meet record by winning all of her events in a clear and consistent way, earning 4,857 points.
The heptathlon is one of the hardest sports because it tests speed, endurance, strength, and technical skill all at once. Isha’s record-breaking performance showed that she was a great athlete overall, not just in one sport. There was still more fun to be had. The men’s 4x100m relay team from KIIT University set another meet record with a run that lit up the track. They finished in 40.09 seconds. The audience loved how smoothly they passed the baton, how quickly they got started, and how well they worked together. This showed how important it is to work together in sprinting.
The Rise in Interest in College Sports
The events on December 5 made a very important point: India’s university sports system is a great place to find talented people. Over the years, KIUG has become one of the best places to find and help future Olympians, Asian Games medalists, and national champions. College sports are different from school sports because they make athletes smarter and stronger. Professional athletes improve by playing against the best players, dealing with the stress of competition, and having better coaches.
The records set at KIUG 2025 show that college athletes are more than just “students who play sports.” They are now real competitors on a national level.
When mental strength and technical skill come together
The athletes’ mental strength was just as important as their scores in today’s performances. Family, friends, coaches, and schools all put a lot of pressure on athlete when they compete in a national event. But the young athletes kept their cool, stayed focused, and got ready to win. If you mess up in the shot put or the relay race, you could lose a medal or a record. The athletes did well under pressure, which showed that they had trained well for the event.
This shows that the university level of training, sports science support, and athlete management are all getting more professional.
The Khelo India University Games are more than just a place to win medals. Now, coaches, selectors, and the Athletics Federation of India can look for them anywhere in the country. Many of the best athletes from past seasons of KIUG are now training and competing with their national teams and teams from other countries.
Schools and states from all over the country fought hard at KIUG 2025. This shows that sports growth is no longer limited to a few well-known places. It’s a good sign for Indian sports that athletes from smaller towns and schools are now competing with well-known names.

The performances were great, but KIUG 2025 had problems with administration and selection, like changes made at the last minute and problems with anti-doping rules. These kinds of problems show that the people in charge of Indian sports need to be more organized and open to match the athletes’ dedication as the sports grow.
People are excited about the future because of the credible shows on December 5th. A lot of these athletes could soon be able to compete for India at the Olympics, world championship and Asian Games if they get the right help, support, and exposure. Young athletes’ lives can change when they break records at a national tournament like KIUG.
The last few days of sports at KIUG 2025 gave fans everything they could want: drama, records, feelings, and the hope of a better future. Indian universities’ sports are getting better and better. They can throw hard, run long distances that require planning, and run relays that are so fast they look like lightning. The records of Samardeep Singh Gill, Isha Chander Prakash, and the KIIT relay team are more than just numbers.
They show how badly India wants to get better at sports. If this keeps up, a new group of great Indian track and field athletes could graduate from college in the next few years.
