National Schools #trackandfield: Only in sixth place in the last 100 metres of the penultimate leg, Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) had anchor Sean Russell Tay (#71) to thank as he blazed down the last lap to retain the school's C Div boys' 4x400m relay gold in 3:50.49.

In an exhilarating final, Victoria School (VS) clinched silver in 3:51.78, Raffles Institution (RI) took bronze in 3:54.24, while Hwa Chong Institution (HCI) were fourth in 3:58.55.

RI had taken the lead over the first two legs via Wang Qiyue and Nagaraj Dhiyanesh, followed behind by Singapore Sports School (SSP), St. Patrick’s School (SPS) and ACS(I) at the halfway point of the race.

St. Patrick’s Lai Hikaru (#466) took the lead midway through the third leg but gradually faded while ACS(I) dropped to sixth by the home straight, as VS and HCI joined the fray. SSP's Kyan Jee (#413) finished this leg in front, followed by VS, RI and HCI.

Receiving the baton in fifth, ACS(I)’s Sean (#71) remarkably overtook HCI, RI and SSP at the 200m mark before hunting down VS's 100m hurdles and 200m hurdles champ Kayden Fang (#535) on the home straight to snatch victory.

The win saw Sean emerge as the only quadruple gold medalist at this year’s meet, after also clinching gold in the 200m (23.40s), 400m (53.45s) and 4x100m relay.

ACS(I) teammate Sebastian Chong (#49), who was the third runner, sealed his third track gold having already won the 1500m (4:31.55) and 3000m (10:00.90), which added to his individual cross country gold. The rest of the ACS(I) quartet consisted of Kieran Chua (#59) and Luca Chen (#48).

All was not lost for VS, however, as their silver helped the school tie on points with HCI in the overall C boys’ divisional standings, with the Victorians grabbing the trophy by virtue of having more golds. VS’s historic title shattered a 20-time winning streak held by HCI (formerly The Chinese High School), with VS also the last school to have won it all the way back in 2000.

National Schools #trackandfield: Singapore Sports School (SSP) led from start to end as the quartet of Muhammad Danial Ryan (#537), Emir Bin Muhammad Rashid (#532), Emre Rizq Mika (#533) and Ifeanyichukwu Asyaraff Ibrahim Molokwu (#534) brought home the B Div boys’ 4x400m relay gold in 3:34.33.

It was SSP’s 9th consecutive win in this event and the 12th win out of 17 attempts since the school’s establishment.

A late challenge from Secondary 3 athlete and 400m champion (51.40s) Harry Irfan Curran (#64) proved too little, too late as the Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) anchor brought his team from fourth to second place with an approximately 50-second split, but settled for silver in 3:36.15.

Catholic High were third in 3:37.84, and Victoria School fourth in 3:38.30.

National Schools #trackandfield: A tight contest in the A Div boys’ 4x400m relay final culminated in Raffles Institution (RI) grabbing gold in 3:28.24, narrowly ahead of Victoria Junior College (VJC) who took silver in 3:29.10. Both RI and VJC were way ahead of the chasing pack from start to end, as nearest challengers Hwa Chong Institution (HCI) finished at least six seconds behind in third (3:35.47).

RI's 110m hurdles champ and 400m hurdles bronze medalist Brandon Ang (#195) as well as VJC's 100m-200m bronze medalist Ong Ying Tat (#304) had set the pace from the lead-off leg, with RI marginally in front by the end of the second leg via 400m silver medalist Zach Tan (#237), ahead of VJC's Renfred Ong (#308).

VJC's 400m hurdles and 800m runner Tanmay Deshpande (#315) made up some ground on RI's Shaun Max Sudhakar (#233) on the penultimate leg, but no one could stop RI's 400m (51.46s) and 400m hurdles (57.34s) champ Caleb Loy (#198) on the anchor as he held off VJC's 400m bronze medalist Ethan Phua (#291) to cross the finish line first.

RI reclaimed the gold in this event which they last won in 2019, while this was VJC's first top 3 finish since 2017 (bronze), and the highest position attained by a VJC team since they last won this relay two consecutive times in 2008-2009.

In 12 editions of the meet ever since VJC's golds in 2008 and 2009, the A boys' 4x400m relay has only been won by RI (6 times), Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) (3 times), and Anglo-Chinese Junior College (3 times).

National A Div #Rugby Semi-final: Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) stormed into the finals with a 62-0 win over Saint Andrew’s Junior College.

“I think individually we have got all the players who can make a difference, but in a final, I suppose the team effort is going to be what’s going to count. Hopefully next Monday we can play better as a team, and we’ll be able to see a difference when the boys come together,” said ACS(I) head coach Mr Adrian Chong.

ACS(I) will play Raffles Institution in the final at MOE (Evans Road) Stadium on Monday, 15 May 2023 at 4.30pm.

National A Div #Rugby Semi-final: Raffles Institution pulled away from Anglo-Chinese Junior College in the second half of the match to win 45-6, securing their place in tomorrow’s final.

With this season, rugby has now returned to the 15s format across all 3 divisions of the NSG. "It feels great to be back playing normal rugby again", said Raffles vice-captain Dylan Tan (#9). "7s is more backs-oriented but now with 15s, the whole team is there playing; really helps with bonding and the team spirit."

Raffles Institution will play Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) in the final at MOE (Evans Road) Stadium on Monday, 15 May 2023 at 4.30pm.
