Athletics
The history of SJI Athletics is closely tied with that of the school . It consistently produced stellar athletes who would display their abilities to the school on sports day and unite the entire school . In those days during sports day , there was a tentage set-up and there were invitational events that also allowed Josephians to bond with other schools such as CHIJ Toa Payoh . The tradition remains that there were always feeder primary schools that would send their teams to compete on this most memorable day too as a large Lasallian family . However , inter-house matches were not held on sports day but on a separate occasion . Nonetheless , the cheers were enough to rouse the whole audience and induce a deep sense of ʻAlma Materʼ belonging .
53rd National Schools Track and Field Championships 2012 was an action-packed year for the SJI Athletics Team as our athletes displayed sterling performances throughout the 53rd
National Schools Track and Field Championships . Captain Raymond Scott Lee ( 434 ) and Vice captain Yusuff Abdul Rahman ( 424 ) were role models for the younger athletes , constantly motivating the team to end the season with 58 points to clinch 7th position in the ‘ B ’ Division Boys competition .
The sprints discipline , led by Coach Veeramani Chidambaram fielded a strong team of athletes in various competitions . SJI ’ s ‘ Athletics Wonderboy ’, Raymond clinched a silver medal in the 100m sprint event and a gold medal in the 400m Hurdles event , breaking the Championship Record with a time of 55.04 seconds . With the victory decided by a photo finish , he defeated his rival by a hundredth of a second . Jonathan Goh ( 437 ) also clinched a bronze medal in the same event , securing 2 podium finishes for SJI . The SJI 4x400m relay team did not disappoint either by blazing past rivals at the last bend to clinch the gold medal .
The jumps discipline , led by Coach Kamalruzaman Bin Mhmd Tahir , was ready to take all the hard work the athletes had put in during training seasons and turn them into results . Vice captain and star jumper Yusuff Abdul Rahman ( 424 ), attained a silver medal in the Long Jump event , and subsequently finished 3rd in the Triple Jump event .
The cross country runners also participated in the competition .
Under coach Mr Fok Keng Choy the Throws Team led by Jumps Captain , Amos Pee ( 423 ) clinched a silver medal in his pet event , Javelin , and also a 6th placing in Shot Put . In Discus , Andre Yap ( 424 ) attained a Top 8 finishing , adding valuable points to SJI ’ s overall score .
