In the 4x100 m Boys, the team (Sum Yu Chen, Daniel Chan, Tan Shao Wei, Chen Yang) ran a very good time of 44.84 s to emerge 5th.

The championships which began on 7 Jul saw our athletes going through many days of intense and nerve wrecking competitions in their heats and finals.

In the 1500 m Girls event, Denise and Sok Wai ran their hearts out to come in 6th and 7th as their competitors were extremely strong.

Today, in the morning, Lee Yan Lin won her 200 m race and her team-mate, Siao Mei, winning the bronze medal. Enroute to the 200 m finals, Yan Lin broke the championship record (held by her also) twice, once in the semi-finals and the other in the finals. Her new 200 m record time is 25.61 s

The competition for the boys is much tougher than the girls as the standard of their opponents is very high. Despite their strong opponents, Captain Tan Shao Wei did his best to come in 6th in the 400 m hurdles. This morning, Sum Yuchen ran the race of his life to come in 5th for the boys 200 m in a time of 23.2s. An achievement indeed for NJC Track Team.
