Wings Track & Field Meet 2010





Wings Athletics Club organised the Wings Meet for the local athletes after 1 week of break from the Singapore Open. It meet was held at ITE Simei where the events waere delayed due to the pouring rain and the logistic problems. They couldn't find a starter gun in time for the races thus causing delays to about an hour or so.

However, there were still PB times made in this Wings Meet.

The Wings meet created another platform for more local athletes to compete. The meet was not perfectly organised, but at least we managed to have fun and had friendly competition between athletes. We hope that there will be more of these races in a year to help athletes prepare for their competitions, e.g. IVP, National Schools, Major games like Commonwealth Games, Asian Games, SEA Juniors and even SEA Games.

We have many clubs in Singapore, However, the active ones that have been organizing competitions for the past 5 years are Swift and Wings. I believe the future of Singapore Athletics will be club based and subsequently create the friendly competition within clubs in Singapore. More clubs, more athletes, more chances to represent and compete and thus this will hopefully increase the participation of Athletics in Singapore.
