The annual Inter House Athletics Meet was held on 20th February 2010. 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 11th, 12th and 13th. Shreemath G. Mandrayar broke the 200 m. record in the Boys ‘A’ Division and George Oommen bettered the High Jump record in the ‘C’ division for Boys. Mohammed Muzammil Khan equalled the record for the boys ‘A’ division High Jump.

The actual meet on the 20th , began with the march past of the athletes led by the Head Boy and Head Girl, the Games Captains, the House Captains and their respective houses, 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 - not only because of the house colours, but also due to the eye-catching decorations on the house tents. 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 Mr. Buchi Prakash Rao declared the meet open. Following this, the House Captains took an oath of sportsmanship in a solemn ceremony. The drill this year "The Parade Drill”, added more colour to the meet.



Following this was the 100m dash for all divisions, and the 200m race for the B division. The athletes gave off their best for the last few races, showing utmost skill and grit, as could be seen by the many nail-biting finishes. These were succeeded by the 10 X 50m Shuttle Relay for Classes 3 & 4 and the widely anticipated Mixed Relay, both of which drew fierce partisanship 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 the boys event and runners – up for the girls.


At the end of all the events, Narmada emerged as the winners after 7 years followed by Sutlej, Godavari and Cauvery. The Marching shield for Seniors was won by Sutlej for the boys and by Godavari for the girls. The Junior Marching Shield was won by Narmada. This year, a shield for the most disciplined house was introduced and Sutlej and Cauvery were declared joint-winners. As the meet came to an end amidst the strains of "Abide With Me", 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 did not fail to entertain.
