TURA: A 22 year old man from Tebronggre village in West Garo Hills has turned into a marathon superstar overnight after he won the 3rd edition of the Delhi Half Marathon in the non elite (amateur, 18-25) category. Such was the dominance of his performance that he placed 2nd in the overall run behind the professional (elite) run winner by just one minute. Batsrang A Sangma completed the 21-km run with a timing of 1 hour 10 minutes while the elite competition winner stood at a time of 1 hour 9 minutes. Batsrang, who is the son of a farmer earlier this year too, hit the podium at the Kolkata Half Marathon standing 3rd in the amateur category. A government official who supported the young runner but chose not to be named said that he can achieve much more provided he gets all the support he needs. According to the official, the government should acknowledge his achievements and encourage him so that he can make the state and the country proud.
