Singapore Press Holdings Relays 2011

The Singapore Press Holdings Relay was held in Bukit Gombak Stadium over the weekend, 26th and 27th of Mar. It has been a disappointing weekend for the ACSi sprints relay. We managed to get a bronze in the 'C' Division 4 x 200m and gold medal for the 'A' boys 4 x 800m.



However we got disqualified for the A, B, C Div 4 x 100m. We had 2 weeks to practice the relay and the team also has a mixture of sprinters and jumpers. Our sprints team was not as strong although Haikel ran 11.3s. We therefore needed some of the jumpers to help us in the relays. It is due to the lack of practice and the coach's poor judgment that caused mistakes like these to happen.



Sengkang secondary on the other surprised us with a bronze medal in the 4 x 100m B boys. However the team consisted of all sprinters and had the same amount of practice as ACSi. Shawn was the only one running under 12s. Sengkang also took part in the 4 x 200m for B boys and C div- Boys and Girls.



I feel that this is a fantastic race right before the National Schools Competition and these relay competitions would also psych up ACSi sprints team and motivate them to do more practices for the upcoming events. They need to focus on being healthy and get as much rest as possible until the Nationals - which is in 2 weeks time.

All the best to all schools for their preparation to the Nationals!
