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 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.

A Div 400m: Hwa Chong’s Sin Ming Wei grabs first ever individual medal with unexpected victory

A bad back injury which lasted eight months forced Sin Ming Wei out of his pet event, the sprint hurdles, three years ago. But it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. "That was when I realised I'm not cut out for hurdling because my injury stemmed from hurdling," said the Hwa Chong Institution Year 6 student. "Afterwards, I decided to try out 400 (metres), because back then I wasn't that of a strong starter, so I wasn't really that suited for the short burst events." "I think I had potential (in the 400m) and basically my coach and my teammates continued supporting me, and that's where I am today." And where he is today, is atop the A Division boys' 400m podium. In a tight race, he stopped the clock first in a personal best 51.45 seconds, finishing just 0.13s ahead of runner-up Samel Sahil Chetan (51.58s) of Singapore Sports School.
