Vishwajith Mane of Maharashtra University of Health Sciences claimed his fourth gold medal but could not prevent hosts Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences from walking away with the overall championship in the first all-India health university athletic championship at the St John’s Medical College Sports Complex here on Thursday.

Mane, winner in the men’s 100M and triple jump gold medals earlier in the competition, claimed the long jump and 200M titles on the final day. He timed 23.6 seconds in the 200 metres and kicked the sand at 6.10 metres in long jump.
RGUHS claimed the team titles in both men’s and women’s sections, tallying 107 and 100 points respectively, to emerge runaway winners in the race for the overall championship.

Mane and Reena Renita Rodrigues (RGUHS) were named individual champions in the men’s and women’s sections.
