Champions

Went to National Stadium on a chartered bus with the other non-tracker supporters. Greeted by the same atmosphere of cheering students just like the previous years, but this time I was motivated to go for a different reason: that I must fulfil what I have said and to support my friends. Earlier, Raymond wanted me to go mug with him at KFC. After all, what difference can one individual make to the score? Nevertheless, I wanted to go; different from last time when I just went.

Heavy rain dampened the air. Initially feared that it will be postponed. Thankfully, the rain subsided, but not before disintegrating my file which was already in a lousy condition. Finally, the chase for points ended, RJC team(especially the guys) putting up a commendable fight till the finish. A fitting finale, in which the guys thrashed the 4X400m record and won by a narrow lead of 7 points. Still remembered Mr Seem, when we were the 1st team to train at the National Stadium, on how the team would conquer the stadium, which turned out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Grateful that I am able to at least have a glimpse of the championship trophy, the first time in six years of track that the team is the champion. Finally, Track and Field ended gloriously on what the cross country people have started. Sang the school song slowly with pride, probably the last time as being part of the team. Just as they did their victory lap, before their celebratory dinner, I left among the crowds with my soggy shoes, wet clothes, stained notes and all. Doesn't matter, for the rain tastes sweet, and the victory is much more than I can ever ask for. :) The End on the Chapter of Track and Field. <p>
