personal thoughts of the SRACC head

previous 2nd last post was the results from the Singapore Canoe Marathon held on 27th January 2008. Below was Lee DeMing's personal thoughts about the Canoeing Marathon.


"On the 27th January 2008, 11 members of the SRJC Alumni Canoeing Chapter (SRACC) competed in the inaugural Singapore Canoe Marathorn 2008. Despite the short notice, all 11 members who have not paddled for a considerable amount of time, made full use of the 2 weeks grace to train hard for the race held at the Kallang Basin. All of us did our best for the SRACC and 4 of our members did us proud by attaining a Gold and a Bronze medal. Despite being the shorter distance category (14km) made available in the SCM08, all of us faced competitiors of equal or better preparedness for the race. Faced against adversity to paddle 14km in the shortest time possible, it was through our mental strength and endurance that our team could yield such results.

It is of my pleasure to honour our four achieving canoeists: T2 14km Mens 3rd Position - Low Kah Meng and Lee Hong An

1st Position - Tay Liang Kiat and Wang Wei Liang

As members of the SRACC and ultimately members of the main SRJC School Alumni, we would be banking on these landmarks to further our training motivation to bring forth more achievements and honour to the SRJC family in the long run. The feeling of the announcer reading: "1st position, from SRJC ALUMNI......." is truly, simply, priceless. Regardless of age, gender, batch, interests, we were all brought together under one school, one family. So lets all do our best in our own way to show our gratitude and love for our school, SERANGOON JUNIOR COLLEGE!!!!
