India’s Gulveer Singh shattered a 16-year-old national record in the men’s 3000m indoor race at the BU David Hemery Valentine Invitational in Boston on 15 February 2025. He finished second with a time of 7 minutes and 38.26 seconds. Gulveer’s new national record was just over 11 seconds better than the previous national record of 7:49.47, set by Surendra Singh in 2008. The effort was also better than India’s outdoor 3000m national record of 7:50.31, which Surendra Singh achieved in England in 2008.
