ISM Athletics

Week 31 Apr 2-4, 2025

Last Friday Mar 28 we hosted our annual ISM Twilight T&F meet. This meet had over 300 entries and provided a great atmosphere for the concluding meet to our domestic T&F program. The meet provided a great opportunity for a final hit out for our varsity team going to IASAS in ISKL under competitive conditions against some excellent athletes from the visiting teams. Well done to all our MS/HS T&F athletes for your efforts. Four ISM T&F records were broken at the meet. Congratulations to MS student Joseph Maina who broke the 800m record with a time of 2.15.72. For HS, Jack Liu broke his own Discus record with a throw of 47.90m. Joseph Riegler put in two amazing runs and broke his own 110m hurdle record with a time of 14.10 sec. Joseph also broke the long standing 400m hurdle record which has been in place for 31 years (since 1994) with a time of 55.53 sec. 

S3 sports training will continue up to the Easter break for MS and teams. HS IASAS teams departs for Singapore, KL and Jakarta on Wed Apr 9th. Good luck to our S3 IASAS Bearcats!
