Rajkot: The Gujarat quartet of Aryan Nehra, Anshul Kothari, Aryan Panchal and Devansh Parmar made a valiant effort to go for glory in the men’s 4x200m freestyle relay but faded out as the race progressed and settled for a creditable silver medal.

Swimming powerhouse Karnataka, powered by the quartet of Sambhavv R, Shivank Vishwanath, Siva S and Aneesh Gowda simply swam with a vengeance to overtake the hosts and win the race in a new meet record timing of 7.41.10 mins. The old record of 7:44.24 was set by Maharashtra in the last edition in Kerala.

Team Gujarat came in a tad behind in a time of 7:48.06 minutes while Maharashtra claimed bronze with an effort of 7:52.62. DeshGujarat
