Republic Polytechnic Athletics IG achieved medals at POL-ITE Road Race 09/10

POL-ITE Road Race Championships 09/10 was held on 28th October at Nanyang Polytechnic. Our Republic Polytechnic (RP) long-distance athletes persevered through Nanyang Polytechnic’s challenging POL-ITE route stretching 4.8km and 5.2km, for the Female and Male category respectively. Despite the strong competition at this year’s POL-ITE, RP achieved 2nd place for the male and 5th place for the female’s team.

Besides winning the Team Category, our athletes also claimed victory in the Individual Male categories. Facing strong competition, our athletes put their physical and mental states to the test, to claim their individual titles. Only the top 6 from the Female and Male Individual categories were crowned and we are proud to say that RP athletes are amongst the Crème De la Crème at POL-ITE! In the Male Individual Category, Chua Chin Yang came in 3rd, even after facing extremely fierce competition.

Overall, our RP long-distance athletes have performed extremely well at the championships and it is evident that the hard work and dedication they have put into their training have paid off. Each of them has contributed to the success of RP at POL-ITE this year. Without their effort and time, this moment would not have been realised. We would also like to show our gratitude to our coach, Mr Lim Kien Mau, who invested his precious time in grooming and preparing us to reach our goal. For without his guidance, RP Athletics would not have reached this pinnacle!
