This was Tejas Shirse’s third race of the season. His timing is, however, still short of the qualifying mark of 7.57 seconds for the World Indoor Championships to be held in Nanjing, China in March. The 22-year-old Shirse is also the national record holder in 110m hurdles — an outdoor event — with a time of 13.41 seconds.
