Indian distance runner Ankita Dhyani delivered a solid performance at the Drake Relays, clocking 9:34.39 in the women’s 3000m steeplechase at the World Athletics Continental Tour (Silver level) meet in Des Moines, Iowa.
Dhyani’s timing was around seven seconds shy of her personal best, which she had set just a week earlier at the Bryan Clay Invitational. Despite the slight dip, the performance reflects her growing consistency on the international circuit.
Competing against a strong field, Dhyani continues to build momentum this season, with back-to-back races showcasing her ability to maintain competitive timings.
