Track & Field

The RI Track & Field team has a long history that dates back to the early days of the school's founding. A sport that is divided into four sections—Sprints, Throws, Jumps and Pole Vaults—Track & Field is one of RI's biggest sports CCAs and has had many successes, most notably, reclaiming the ‘B’ division championship title in 2018 after a hiatus of 28 years. A closely-knit team nurtured by excellent, experienced coaches and patient and caring teachers, Track offers you an environment to hone your skills and develop both physical and mental agility and strength.

Apart from training sessions on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, the team is involved in many other activities, which include competitions organised by the SAA (Singapore Athletics Association) and other overseas experiences such as a trip to Perth in 2017, where we explored the Western Australian Institute of Sports and competed with international teams.

We continue to chase our dreams, jump towards glory and throw our fears away as we strive for excellence in embodying the Rafflesian spirit and staying true to our vision—‘Simul Melius’—‘Better Together’.
