Track and Field Finals

This topic was given quite some time ago but I did not have much time to post about it.

I went for the Track and Field Finals at Choa Chu Kang Stadium last Thursday. 9 Sec 1 classes were supposed to go there to cheer for HCI and show the Hwa Chong Spirit. We went to the Stadium and expected to win, since the seniors told us that HCI has been winning in the 'C' divisions for the eighth consecutive year, now ninth. We had also been winning in the 'B' divisions for the eighteenth consecutive year, now nineteenth. HCI triumphed in both 'B' divisions and 'C' divisions Boys and clinched second and third in 'A' division Girls and Boys respectively.

The finals started without my knowing, since there wasn't any announcement to commence. I thought they were warming up but the real match had already begun. I am referring to the high jump and javelin throws. It was not very obvious who the winners of the both events were since we did not know the individual distance of their throw/ height they jump. However, the obvious one would be the race.

The seniors also told us that 90% of event is already over, with the points recorded down and becoming history. We will for sure win in the 'B' divisions Boys, even if we lose this 10%, according to them. They are not so sure about the 'C' divisions Boys, but we should be able to win. However, it was quite dangerous for the 'A' divisions.

In the end with the results release (refer to the top for the results), HCI cheered and sang the school song with our principal, Dr Hon. Everyone shouted and demanded for a holiday. It was granted with a thumbs-up by our principal.
