In the 2023 National School Games (NSG), the Track and Field competition is held across 3 weeks. Most of the qualifying events and selected finals, are currently taking place at Choa Chu Kang Stadium. And the National Stadium will also play host to also key events and finals from 26-28 April. The entire competition sees hundreds of athletes from schools across the country, battle for pride, honour and glory via several track and field disciplines and the different age-groups/divisions.
On 17 April at the Choa Chu Kang Stadium, Raffles Institution (RI) dominated the proceedings on Day 6 with several victories across the board. On the field, the Rafflesians took gold and silver in the Boys’ A Division Shot Put final through the efforts of Low Chuan Yi and Kan Fu Yi respectively. And switching to the track, the 110m Hurdles finale saw RI teammates Brandon Ang and Hayden Audy Haslizal sharing a tight hug after crossing the finish line. 17 year old Brandon, who won by 0.21 seconds with his race time of 15.23 seconds, told the Straits Times, “That was an emotional moment for me. We’ve always done hurdles and I’ve been running with him for about six years. I’m very happy we managed to go one-two.”
In the 110m Hurdles Boys’ B Division final though, Raffles Institution’s Garrett Chua produced a come-from-behind effort to defeat Reagan Song of Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) by 0.26 seconds. His overall winning time was 14.33 seconds. And Victoria School's Kayden Fang secured the C Division title to prevent the Rafflesians from making a total sweep of all 3 gold medals in the Boys' Hurdles events. Meanwhile, here're the highlights from Day 6 of Track & Field, courtesy of Team Nila Content Producer, Tom Ng Kok Leong.
