A Div 100m: ACS(I)’s Mark Lee enters record books again in 10.59s; becomes 4th-fastest U20 local all-time

"10.59, 10.59...": Those were the digits Mark Lee, 18, kept telling himself the day before he had set out to make history in the A Division boys' 100-metre final. And that turned out to be the exact magical number he found himself staring at after his crowning as the fastest schoolboy to ever grace the National Schools. Mark's 10.59s (+0.6m/s) gold-winning time not only saw him rewrite the championship and schools national record of 10.70s set a decade ago by Hwa Chong alumnus Donovan Chan, but also makes him the fourth-fastest under-20 Singaporean all-time over the distance.
