"When I was primary 4, I chose badminton as my CCA. I developed my interest in running during primary school however at that point of time, my pri sch did not have track & field as one of the CCAs. When I was in Primary 5, I came in first for the 1.6km NAPFA test in the whole sch including the boys. One of my CCA teacher pulled me out from badminton requested that I should join track & field. I participated in the National primary School Championships and emerged 2nd in 800m with a timing of 2min 40s. After I graduated, I trained under the national coaches. Eventually I was recognised by team Singapore after emerging 1st in most of the events. In 2008, i was sleected for Wala & Asean Sch. This was when i clocked my PB 5:06min for 1.5km. In 2009, I was selected to represent Singapore in AYG. After participating in AAQ this year, I managed to get selected for the YOG with PB of 3:02min for 1km. First of all, I would like to say that my family played a huge role in my success. Without them, I doubt I would have reached this remarkable level. Their continuous support has motivated me to strive harder. They would turn up for all of my races without fail. Even if i do not perform well in any of my races, they are never disappointed. Nevertheless, my track friends were also present for most of my races to show their support. Without these 2 groups of people, i might not have secured a position in the selection list for YOG. Last but definitely not the least, my coach G Elangovan has been a continous support to me. His friendliness has made me love trainings even more. My coach has put in alot of effort for my races. I managed to clock my PB in AAQ by 12s. this might not have been possible if not for my coach. My coach has made my love for running even deeper. I wish to bring glory to him in my upcoming races."
