Papua New Guinea Women's 4 x 100m Relay quartet of Adrine Monagi, Toea Wisil, Isila Apkup and Leonie Beu set a new national record of 45.38 seconds in front of a packed Alexander Stadium yesterday.
Despite finishing sixth in their heat, the time was still good enough surpassing the 45.85 recorded at the recent 2022 Pacific Mini Games in Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands.
In other results from Day 9 of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, Feanor Siaguru and Madako Suari Jnr proved too strong for Guyana’s Shomari Wiltshire and Jason-Ray Khalil, with a 2-0 win in the Plate Quarter-Final of the squash Men’s Doubles.
The closing ceremony of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games will take place tomorrow night, August 8.
