The track and field events at Sujatha encompass a variety of competitive athletic disciplines based on running, jumping, and throwing. Our athletes take part in competitions held throughout the year for different disciplines and traditionally, our strength has been in running events. In 2002, at the Zonal Inter-School Sports Meet, Sujathian Savini Amarasighe set two new Zonal records in the 100m and 200m events. Through competitive athletics, we aim to develop in our students a greater appreciation for the sport as well as teamwork and strength of character. We believe it is more important to focus on the process than the product. The process in this case is grueling hours of training, soreness we deal with after and mental endurance we need to keep pushing ourselves beyond what we think we capable of. The product – the results, medals, and accolades – will follow later. It is not always easy and there will be some very trying times. However, overcoming these challenges is its own reward and we know our players will emerge stronger, faster, and more united.
