Despite winning a gold medal in the boys' U-16 high jump event of the Mumbai Schools Sports Association (MSSA) inter-school athletics meet at University Pavilion, Marine Lines with a jump of 1.73m yesterday, St Lawrence's (Kandivli) Shubham Patekar was not satisfied with his performance.

The 15-year-old was a tad disappointed at not being able to break the record of 1.78m set by his senior schoolmate Vedant Mandre in 2013. Yesterday Shubham clinched gold ahead of Children's Academy's (Malad) Maanav Shah, who jumped 1.60m for silver and Anirudh Iyer of Rustomjee International, who clinched bronze clearing 1.55m.
