2nd Annual Athletic Meet

 
November 30, 2002

"Sports surfaces the zeal in every heart, the desire to be a winner ......to be able to give all......to score the winning run....... to do thatextra bit..... to take every defeat in ones stride, as a new beginning. "

-Kanchan Tanwar

The Second Sports meet was held on November 30, 2002 on the school's lush green lawns. After an impressive March Past, the oath was administered by Kanchan Tanwar, an athlete of immense promise.

The junior classes participated in the obstacle race. This charmed the participants, so much that several parents wanted to participate, so the obstacle race was also held for them.

Yoga with all its inherent serenity was performed to the chanting of mantras and the resounding of “OM”.

The Martial Arts students demonstrated the skills learnt by them in the Art of Self Defence. The act of breaking three bricks in one stroke by standard IV students was breathtakingly impressive.
Girls as well as boys took keen interest in the 400,800 and even 1500 Meter races.
Gymnastic was another big attraction with the audience. Swatantra Yadav gave an impressive performance of his high jump on the iron bars. The little ones from classes IV and V, jumping through a ring of fire, stopped many a breath.
Every child of grade III and above participated in the Cross Country Race held on November 28 , 2002 About 150 students of grade II and 100 students of grade III participated in a beautifully synchronized P.T. drill. 

This was further followed by the sprint. Speed and the will to win was the hall mark of these winning athletes. Another noticeable and interesting fact was that the fathers of winning athletes also proved to be ace athletes in the parent's race. There was a balancing race requiring concentration, for mothers and a regular 400 Meter track race, for the fathers.

The Athletic spectacle was as impressive as it was record breaking. The striving for excellence was evident in every sport.
