The annual Inter House Athletics Meet was held on 19th February 2011. However, the athletic fever began to pervade the campus well before the actual day, with athletes practicing hard every day since the day school reopened. The majority of the track and field events were held on the 10th, 11th and 12th of February. Pragyan Damani of Cauvery broke the 100 m. Hurdles record in the ‘A’ Division.

The actual meet on the 19th , began with the march past of the athletes led by Arvind Ram Tyagarajan, the Head Boy and Nihara Rachel Kurian, the Head Girl, and by R. Vignesh and Urmila J., the Games Captains. They were followed by the four houses, led by their House Captains and the School Band. The senior contingents were followed by their junior counterparts, led in turn by their Games Captains and House Captains. The school ground was decked in yellow, blue, red and green. The eye-catching decorations at the house tents were much appreciated. Once the four houses congregated at the centre of the field, the school flag was hoisted, the games torch was lit, and the Chief Guest Major (Retd) S. Maniam declared the meet open. Following this, the House Captains took an oath of sportsmanship in a solemn ceremony. The drill this year "Lord of the rings in cascading hues”, was truly colourful and it was performed with grace and accuracy.



The athletic events began with the 100m dash for boys and girls of all the divisions, and the 200m race for the B division. The athletes gave of their best for these races, showing true skill, grit and determination. These were succeeded by the 10 X 50m Shuttle Relay for Classes 3 & 4 and the widely anticipated Mixed Relay, both of which drew much cheering from all the houses. However soon after, school spirit triumphed with the four rival teams uniting to cheer for Sishya in the inter-school relays, in which Sishya emerged winners in both, the boys and girls events. There was also a race for the Parents and a baton relay of 12 members each between the Sishya athletes and the Sishya Alumni.


At the end of all the events, Narmada emerged as the winners followed by Godavari, Sutlej and Cauvery. Sutlej won the Marching Shield for both, the Senior boys and the Senior girls. The Junior Marching Shield was won by Cauvery. The shield for the most disciplined house was won by Narmada. As the meet came to an end amidst the strains of "Abide With Me", all participants were left with a sense of pride at their efforts over the past two weeks, and all those present already began to look forward to the next year's edition. As always, the Inter House Athletics Meet proved to be a memorable event.
