India’s national record holder Tejaswin Shankar delivered another strong performance on the international circuit, finishing second in the men’s high jump at the Ward Haylett Invitational after clearing 2.24m.
Competing against a quality field, Tejaswin showed consistency and composure throughout the event as he continued his preparations for the major competitions later this season. The Indian star, who holds the national record in high jump, once again proved his ability to compete at the highest level internationally.
The competition was won by Jamaica’s Romaine Beckford, who produced a lifetime best jump of 2.30m to take the top spot. In the process, Beckford also broke the facility record of 2.28m that had been set by Tejaswin back in 2021.
Despite missing out on first place, Tejaswin’s 2.24m effort marks another positive outing in his season and reflects his steady form ahead of upcoming international events. His continued performances remain encouraging for Indian athletics fans as he builds momentum toward bigger championships.
