Nanyang Girls' all-star C Division relay teams were anchored by 80m hurdles-100m double gold medallist Elizabeth-Ann Tan and 800m-1500m champion Wu Shu Han. The girls clocked 50.04 seconds in the 400m relay -- their best this season -- and 4 minutes 15.68 seconds in the 1600m relay to claim two gold medals to add to the five individual ones the school earned previously.
Nan Hua High School captain Phoebe Tay narrowly held off the challenge of Amanda Wong from CHIJ (Toa Payoh) to finally win her first gold medal at the 58th National Schools Track and Field Championships in the B girls 800-metre, while Arissa Rashid led from start to finish to win the A girls race in a new personal best.
Only in sixth position on the second leg, Addeen Idzni pulled one position ahead for SSP, before Celeste Goh destroyed the competition on the third leg, going from fifth to second. Anchor runner Ismi Zakiah then powered SSP home to gold in 4:12.23. Only 0.9 seconds separated the top three of SSP, HCI and RI.
CJC anchor runner Hassan Khan held off the challenge from RI's Joshua Chua, pipping favourites RI to gold by 0.1 seconds.
RI's winning time of 49.60s is just 0.2 seconds shy of the championship record in the event. Sports School finished second in 50.03s, with HCI third in 51.24s.
Shahmee clocked 11.04s against a headwind of 1.3m/s, while Joshua finished second in 11.13s.
Tanisha clocked 12.67s against a headwind of 1.6m/s, with Sports School's Ismi Zakiah (12.72s) and RI teammate Amirah Aljunied (12.96s) in second and third respectively.
Defense of defending champion RI shone through as they cruised past SRJC 47-12.
