SJI’s Track & Field Championships

SJI's 114th Annual Track and Field Championships returned with great excitement under the theme Unleashing the Athlete Within. Leading up to the finals, students had competed in two rounds of heats, showcasing their determination in events like the 200m, 800m, 1500m, Shot Put, and Long Jump. Finals day began with the traditional March Past, where athletes from the various Fraternities were cheered on by their Fraternity Heads and mascots. The event was officially opened by our Principal, Mr. Justin Pierre after the Athlete’s Oath was recited by the Track & Field student leaders. The competition kicked off with the 100m and 400m races, followed by the 4x100m relay, Lasallian Invitational Race, Fraternity Race, and 4x400m relay.

A fierce rivalry between the Lawrence and Marican Fraternities unfolded throughout the day. Despite Marican's strong efforts, Lawrence narrowly won the overall championship by just a few points, making it a thrilling contest to the very end. The Lasallian Invitational Race saw enthusiastic participation from other schools, creating a friendly yet competitive atmosphere. In the primary school category, St. Anthony’s Primary School took first place, followed by SJI Junior and De La Salle School.

The SJI Track and Field Championships certainly showcased sportsmanship, excellence and unity among participants.
