Choa Chu Kang Stadium, Wednesday, April 16, 2014 — Jannah Wong of Raffles Institution won the A Division Girls’ 100m title with a timing of 12.70 seconds at the 55th National Inter-School Track & Field Championships.
Kimberly Ann Song of Catholic Junior College bagged the silver medal with a timing of 13.57s, while Janine Lim of Victoria Junior College was third with 13.62s.
“I feel very happy, and very blessed. I want to thank my coach and my parents for supporting me all the way, and my friends also, for encouraging me during trainings,” said Jannah, who is in her final year of competition at the Schools’ championships. She finished second in last year’s 100m final.
Jannah set a new national junior record in the heats of the 100m hurdles on April 8, before going on to win her sixth straight sprint hurdles gold.
The A Division 100m electronically-timed record of 12.37 seconds was set in 1999 by Tan Shieh Li, formerly of Anglo-Chinese Junior College. The 1985 hand-timed mark of 12.2s is held by Prema Govindan, formerly of Ang Mo Kio Secondary.
