Aiming to provide a suitable platform and an opportunity to all children studying in CISCE (Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations) affiliated schools to showcase their talents and skills in the various sporting disciplines, CISCE North Western Regional Athletics Meet was held on September 10 at NIKOL Sports complex here.
Paavi Maloo, a 12-year-old student from Anand Niketan School, Shilaj, Ahmedabad, has secured the second position in the 600m event under the sub-junior girls at the CISCE North Western Regional Athletics Meet. In a remarkable achievement, she was the only participant from Ahmedabad to secure a position, alongside a fellow competitor from Surat who claimed first place. Paavi’s stellar performance has earned her the opportunity to represent the region at the upcoming CICSE national-level competition.
She is also a trained badminton player.
Her dedication to both academics and athletics continues to inspire young athletes. This achievement marks a significant milestone in Paavi’s sporting journey.
The winners from the competition — State level meet — will play for national level who will in turn take part in the School Games Federation of India (SGFI) and thereafter at the Khelo India School Games.
The competition is one of the sporting platforms showcasing school students’ athletic talent and sportsmanship.
The competition is divided into six categories: sub-junior boys/girls (under 14), junior boys/girls (under 17), and senior boys/girls (under 19). The participants in these categories compete in field events — javelin throw, long jump, shot put, and high jump — and track events include 100m, 400m, 600m, 1500m running, and 3000m walk.
