Josephians Excel at Track & Field Meet
1 March 2025
Three Josephians represented Singapore Schools in Perth, with Michael Sofyan winning U15 100m hurdles gold in a personal best.
On 7-9 March 2025, 3 Josephians, Michael Sofyan (FN203), John Lim (ML303), and Joshua Khoo (LE303) represented Singapore Schools at the annual Western Australian State Track & Field Championships in Perth. This competition brought together student-athletes from Singapore, Malaysia, and Western Australia to compete in a 3-day adrenaline-pumping competition. It provided a golden opportunity for our Josephians to compete against their international counterparts in their respective age-groups.
Michael Sofyan brought home an impressive Gold for Singapore Schools when he won with a huge personal best of 14.06 seconds in the Under-15 100m hurdles event. He also put up a respectable timing of 28.74 seconds to claim 5th place in the Under-14 200m hurdles. John Lim secured 3rd place for the Under-15 300m hurdles with a personal best of 42.40 seconds and a big personal best of 13.85 seconds for the Under-16 100m hurdles, coming in 5th.
Joshua Khoo came in 5th place for the Under-16 Long Jump event with an outstanding personal best of 6.08 metres.
The hard work and resilience of our Josephians paid off as they came home not only with an enriching experience but also bagging a few medals and an improvement in their personal bests.
Well done, boys!
