More opportunities for young people to experience athletics. 🔥

Singapore Athletics’ inaugural West Zone Athletics Meet gave students the chance to compete, represent their schools and discover the sport.

Behind this first edition were teachers who went the extra mile to give their students a platform to race, challenge themselves and experience the joy of competition.

👏 A heartfelt thank you to the teachers-in-charge and participating schools for making this opportunity possible.

Through this pilot, we aim to broaden participation and create more accessible pathways into athletics. We hope this first edition inspires more schools to get involved and give their students the opportunity to experience the sport firsthand.

Thank you to our Guest of Honour, Mr David Neo, Hwa Chong Institution, Sport Singapore and ActiveSG, our participating schools, technical officials, volunteers and organising team for supporting the meet.

And to every student who took part, well done! We hope this is the first of many opportunities to enjoy athletics. 🏃‍♀️‍➡️

🇸🇬 FIVE NATIONAL RECORDS!

Shaun Goh has broken the men's half marathon national record, clocking an official time of 1:05:01 at the Valencia Half Marathon 🇪🇸

Based on his chip time, Shaun actually covered the half-marathon race distance in 1:04:59 - the first time a Singaporean has ever gone under 65 minutes. However, for record-breaking and result-tracking purposes, his gun time of 1:05:01 is used.

The 29-year-old took 1 minute and 44 seconds off the previous national record of 1:06:45, set by Soh Rui Yong at the same race in 2023.

This marks another remarkable achievement in a record-breaking year for Goh, who now holds five national records across road and track distances.

Congratulations, Shaun, on this outstanding achievement! 💪🇸🇬
