The Inter House
Athletics was held on 17th February 2008. But the excitement
started a few days before the big day with some of the
events taking place in school earlier. All field events
and the longer track events were held on the 8th, 9th
and 10th February. Prethvin Udday Kumar set new meet
records in the High Jump and Long Jump events.
The points were added and each House was brimming with
the competitive spirit.
The meet itself
on the 17th, started with the March Past of the athletes
led by the Head boy and Head Girl, the Games Captains,
the House Captains and the School Band. The Senior contingents
were followed by the Junior teams led by their Games
Captains, and House Captains. Everyone looked smart
in their House colours. The Captains took the oath in
a solemn ceremony, the torch was lit, and the Chief
Guest Mr. Abraham Verghese declared the meet open. The
drill, "Magical Cubes", done with coloured
boxes displayed a patriotic theme.

The young athletes
were ready to run the last few races that would decide
the ultimate winner. The 10 X 50m. Shuttle Relay for
Classes 3 & 4 added to the excitement. The Alumni
versus the present students was a popular event with
much cheering from both sides. The inter school races
were also keenly contested. After all the events were
over, Sutlej emerged as the winners again, closely followed
by Cauvery, Godavari and Narmada. The Marching shield
for Seniors was won by Sutlej for both the boys and
the girls. The Junior Marching Shield was won by Godavari
House.
With the lowering of the flag, another memorable event
came to a close. |
