The day’s proceedings also saw 33 records being shattered.

Meanwhile, the GAPLF will be fielding a team at the upcoming South American championship which is slated for Brazil in early September. However, due to the lack of funding the team had to be reduced from 26 to six athletes. The GAPLF is calling for support so they can field a larger contingent at the championship.
