Hope everyone is doing fine! This is the first blog entry for year 2013! This year is going to be an exciting year because of the SEA Games coming up end of the year. Along the calendar, we have many competition local, regional and international lined up for us. The first competition that I'm going to talk about is the IVP. The standards of the IVP has been rising, as we see many of the National athletes competing under the Universities and also the first few batches of Sports School athletes growing into Polys and mostly NTU sports science course.
This year I am still employed by RP, and I am really fortunately to have a very strong girls team, contribution mainly from the sports school athletes! Nabilah, Habibah, Wendy, LiangWei etc..
IVP Day 1 held in ITE Simei and Republic Poly sent a team mainly in Sprints and hurdles. We missed a medal chance when Shiyu stumbled the 2nd hurdle in the 100mH race. She won the race during POLITE and were setting high hopes for this race against NTU powerhouse Dipna Prasad. Luckily Shiyu started for us in the relay and we won and came in 1st qualifier for the finals!
Wendy did 4 races + 4 x 100m relay, and I guess it drained her out after the heats for the 100m and 400m. She came in 2nd after Piriya in the 400m, but won the 100m setting a new record of 12.38s!
As expected, Zaki won the men's 400m and helped to anchor the men's 4 x 100m to qualify for the finals! Congrats and great job everyone!
