2011 SAA Track and Field Series 3

The Singapore Athletic Association Track and Field Series 3 was held in a different venue again. This time at Nanyang Polytechnic. This meet also had a special event. A selection trial took place for the 4x400m Men & Women Training Squads for the 26th SEA Games.



Over the two days, we were greeted with fine weather at the start, small showers in the middle and a windy end. In this meet, only athletes from Reactiv took part. Mainly Wayne, Nikita and Melanie. Schools under Coach Alfred Sim did not take part because he wanted the athletes to work on their weakness before the National Schools competition which will be next week. We are hoping to iron out the relay combinations after the disaster of the ACSi 4x100m at the SPH relays.




The 4x400 selection trials was the last event of this meet. The purpose of this trials was for the relay teams to try and qualify for the SEA Games relays as soon as possible. Both the Men and Women had more than 1 team.

The women's team needed to go below 3mins 49.28secs to qualify. However, they only managed to do a timing of 3mins 59.04secs.

The men's team however had already qualified for the SEA Games. The young lads from Raffles Institution JC had qualified with a timing of 3mins 24secs 1 week ago at the Singapore Press Holdings Relay meet. Nonetheless, 3 new teams were formed and the winners of the trials did a timing of 3mins 19.99secs making them the new team to qualify.



Since this is the first of many time trials, athletes were still not up to the mark. They however have till July to qualify. So we would like to wish all athletes the best and encourage everyone to work even harder for these coming months.
