B Div Girls Long Jump: Ann Lee of Nanyang Girls’ takes flight to clinch gold amid bird disturbances

Ann Lee of Nanyang Girls High School (NYGH) bettered her personal best by one centimetre with a winning jump of 5.11 metres in the Girls’ B Division Long Jump event to clinch gold. But the highlight of the long jump event, according to Ann was not so much her win but the persistent disturbance of a white bird at the track. The white bird would periodically swoop towards some of the long jump participants and even forcing the officials to restart the jump countdown for some of the girls.

A Div Field: RI comes out top in Boys’ Discus while VJC dominates Girl’s Shot Put

Wong Rui Yue of Victoria Junior College (VJC) came into the shot put competition aiming for a personal best (PB), but she definitely did not expect to achieve it with only her third throw of the competition. In the other field events that day, Raffles Institution’s (RI) Ryan Ng came out on top in the A Division discus throw event with a final distance of 44.68 metres. The second-year student, however, admitted that he did not do as well as he had hoped.

A Div Triple Jump: Sports School’s Andrew George Medina cracks 17-year championship record despite carrying injury

Nursing a bruise on his heel, Andrew George Medina knew he had to make his first few jumps count -- he was not planning to use up all six of his attempts in the A Division boys' triple jump final. Eventually, he only attempted four -- skipping his fourth and last tries -- and also fouled two of his four jumps. But his job was already done on his second attempt, as the fifth-year Singapore Sports School student leapt 14.58 metres to crack the championship record at the 60th National Schools Track and Field Championships.
