It takes a good person to win without boasting and lose without murmuring. This was the spirit that was found among the Josephite family on the 128th Annual Sports meet held here on Friday. Binoy Mathew of I M Sc (Com Sci), became the fastest runner on the campus while Catherine of III BCA was the fastest female. Both had a standing ovation.
A jubilant Binoy Mathew said, “The competition was very tough, especially the last 80-100 metres. At least 20 metres I had to run fast and was able to make it.”
A beaming Catherine who won the 100 metres said, “The competition was good but
I think we (III BCA) dominated most of the events”
There was lot of cheering from the students, especially from III BCA encouraging their classmates. “It was lovely, but weather was very hot. The competition was very tough and participants gave a tough competition,” said Priyanka Lobo of III BCA who won the I place in shot-put.
Earlier, Principal Fr (Dr) Ambrose Pinto, inaugurated the sports meet by hoisting the College flag, and declared the sports meet open. In his address he said, “It is not the competition that matters, but how best you offer yourself.” He also said that all the participants should excel and try to participate in the university sports and bring accolades to Joseph’s.”
Binoy Mathew on behalf of the participants took the pledge. The sports meet began with the track events, long jump, high jump, triple jump, disc throw, javelin throw and the climax of the sports meet was tug of war.
