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.
Reuben dominated the field, scoring a relative straightforward win in 22.41 seconds, though still some way off ex-national sprinter Poh Seng Song's divisional record at 21.88s that was set in 1999. Grace earned RGS its first gold medal of this year's championships, after she outran Reuben's schoolmate Diane Pragasam.
Diane clocked 1:01.04, while teammate Zann Oh edged out Grace Shani Anthony of RGS by 0.01s for the silver.
History was made in the 58th National Inter-School Cross Country Championships when unfancied Nan Hua High School clinched the B Division Girls’ team title and brought home its first ever cross country championship.
Diane managed to fight off the competition, crossing the finishing line 0.12s ahead of Tanisha Moghe of Cedar Girls'.
RGS limited TKGS to single-digit scoring in each quarter to secure their win.
Vera Wah and Joyceleen Yap, both of Cedar Girls’, came in second and third with timings of 11:34.06 and 11:36.27 respectively.
