Being first in 100 meters race, Long Jump, Discuss Throw and Relay Race, Hanumantha was declared as the individual Boys Champion at the Hiriyadka Circle in Under 14 Athletics competition. The Relay Team comprised of besides Hanumantha, Anil, Pratheek and Preetham. In the same venue, Divya Suvarna had secured first place in the 100 meters run.
