Over the weekend on 11th January, parents, teachers and students watched and participated in some amazing track and field events, all the students took part in events with co-operation and kindness. Over the course of 5 hours, we saw students challenging themselves with great confidence and providing support and compassion for their teammates, showcasing how TBS has grown together and developed as a community. This kindness and enthusiasm was explicitly showcased by the creative cheers and roars that echoed throughout the grounds in every competition.
Makalu had its first golden trophy, securing it with a grand total of 726 points. According to Year 11 Upasana, who has been here since Year 2, this is the first time Makalu has ever won and she took pride in that. Kanchenjunga’s winning streak has finally been brought to an end by Makalu and its uprising. However, Kanchenjunga took the lead in the track events by a total of 387 points, Dhaulagiri in the field events by 347 total points with Makalu right behind them with a total of 344 points and Makalu in the lead for the house cheers with 40 points.
Along with a great time for all, there were also 12 school records broken for different events by many of our students. Saksham in Year 8 broke two records in 200m with 30 seconds, and 800m with 2 minutes and 44 seconds. Yaja Sapkota in Year 9, broke the record for triple jump with 7.55m and Snigdha in Year 9 for 300m with 54.90 seconds. In the senior category, a record was broken in the relay by Abdul, Aarya, Jase and Saugat with a record of 52.40 sec.
A big shout out and thank you to the PE department and the rest of the TBS community including parents, teachers, TBS staff and students, behind the scenes who gave up their own time and got everything set up on the chilly Kathmandu morning and made this long awaited event possible. Despite the hiccups that they experienced earlier on in the year, they still managed to make it an enjoyable and fun day for all, in this year’s 25-26 TBS Sports Day.
