Four meets, three national records - the month of March could not have been any better for Singaporean sprinter Shanti Pereira, who set yet another national mark at the Australian Open Track and Field Championships in Brisbane on Friday.
The 26-year-old clocked 11.38 seconds in the 100m heats to eclipse her own national mark by 0.08sec, just four weeks after she set a new best at the New Zealand Track and Field Championships in Wellington on March 3.
She will progress to Saturday's semi-finals after she topped the heats, with the final scheduled on the same evening.
On Sunday, she will compete in the 200m heats for a spot in the final.
