WAB's Super Athletes
Triump at Biggest Track Meet Ever
A crowd well in excess of 1,000 participants and spectators
witnessed the biggest sporting event for Beijing and
Tianjin international schools ever at the WAB track
last Friday May 11.
Over 500 competitors from 9 international schools took
part in an atmosphere that would have made Pierre
de Coubertin proud.
The performances of our Elementary WAB athletes exceeded
even WAB’s high expectations at this event.
A glance at some of the statistics would astound any
sports observer. The performance is all the more
amazing when you consider there were 9 schools vying
for every event.
ISAC Gold: Out of a possible 40 Gold Medals on offer,
WAB students won 25.
ISAC Records Since 2000: Of the 40 records in existence
since 2000, this year WAB athletes established 16 new
records.
8 x 50m Relay: The culmination of the ISAC Track and
Field event is always the 8 x 50m relay. There is something
about the sight of all 6 lanes with 8 runners in each
lane flying around the track that really gets the crowd
pulsating. As the final floodlit relays took their inevitable
course, it was clear to the cheering capacity crowd that
this was to be WAB’s finest sporting hour.
