Featured Athlete Of the Week: Jeevaneesh
April 22nd, 2010 by CCA PROHey HC, last week, we found out more about Mervyn from Canoe. This week, we present to you, your featured athlete for the 3rd week of April (12th – 18th): JEEVANEESH S/O SOUNDARARAJAH (10S60) !
HCunite caught up with this up-and-coming J1 who has exploded onto the track and cross country scene in fine style this year.
In the 51st Interschool Track & Field Championships 2010, Jeevan emerged champion in the 1500m event, and 2nd runner-up in the 800m event.
In the 1500m event, Jeevan managed to stave off his competitors and maintain a steady pace throughout the race to clinch the gold medal. You may find a full report on RedSports.
Jeevan leading the pack
Jeevan also did HC proud on the 24th of March, during the 51st National Inter-School Cross-Country Championships, where he finished strongly in 2nd position in the A’ Division Boys with a timing of 15:35.57, coming in only behind Lim Zhi Ming of Raffles Institution. Read more on the Cross Country Nationals HERE!
Jeevaneesh fast and steady.
1) Where were you before Hwa Chong? Give us a brief rundown on your journey as an athlete!
I was from Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Secondary School.
I started participating at Nationals when I was secondary 2. I didn’t really do well for both cross country and track & field (1500m & 3000m) that year. At secondary 3, I did the same events and the best result I achieved was 8th position in 1500m, I think. At secondary four, I improved tremendously as I attained 6th position in the cross country. Not only that, I also managed to grab a 2nd and 5th position in 1500m and 3000m respectively. During June that year, I also managed to beat the Nationals’ champion in 1500m at the Singapore Juniors Athletics Championships.
2) The two medals and the 2nd placing you earned for both of your Nationals are impressive! How do you feel about your achievements?
I feel extremely happy as I trained hard for it, especially for the Cross Country and being a champion at J1 for 1500m was a joy for me too.
HC Cross Country '10
3) There’s definitely more to training than raw output. Physical training aside, how do you prepare yourself mentally for competitions?
My coach advices us to watch inspirational videos. One of them will be definitely ROCKY. Before any competition, I will also mentally picture the race I’m going to run in my head from start to finish and will always think of the positives.
4) Were they any major setbacks you faced thus far? Like injuries for example? How did you make the comeback?
I didn’t face any major setbacks yet so far. However, there was a time during december holidays where I felt sick during training. I had to rest for one week because I had fever and flu. When I recovered , my time for 5km time trial deproved from 18:20 to 19:20; by one minute. I was quite irritated because it distrupted my training patterns. However, I decided to train harder for the next time trial. The following week, I did a 18:20 again. To my suprise, I improved again for the next one, doing a 17:10. The last one I did was a personal best of 16:30.
5) How do you feel about Hwa Chong as a school and family?
I feel great about Hwa Chong as a school and family. The HWA CHONG SPIRIT is breath-taking, especially during the competition season. The support everyone gives especially the councillors really touches the hearts of the atheletes out there competing for the school’s glory. I am grateful for this support.
Jeevan (right), with teammates Shui Kun (left) and Gary (centre)
6) This is the part where you give advice! Any shout-out to your present and previous teammates and fellow HC athletes?
Always give your very BEST, no matter what the circumstances are. I hope my achievements will spur others to do their BEST in everything they do. ALL THE BEST to the rest of the HC Sports CCAs with their upcoming fixtures of the NATIONALS. Hope you’ll make Hwa Chong proud!
With 2009 being only his first year in Hwa Chong, we can await great things from Jeevan in these two years. Jeevan hopes to attain a hat-trick of gold medals (or even more) for next year’s schools nationals in both the Track and Cross Country Championships combined. Let’s wish him and HC all the best!

But we were the best native team ever- no blatant importing. 6 years of memories, 6 years of toil. For in spite of everything, our spirit makes champions of us all.”

Right after winning the 1st position of the javelin event, we interviewed Justin Lee about his sweet victory, which almost broke a 40-year-old record.
Qns: Hi Justin, how do you feel about the Javelin team sweeping the top 3 positions this year?
Justin: I feel that since we trained very hard, the feeling was great when we swept the top 3 positions in nationals, especially during the prize presentation, where we stood on the podium together, and the best thing was that our main rival did not get any points out of this event.
Qns: How was the weather factor contributing to this incredible result today?
Justin: The weather today was great in the sense that it did not rain in the morning. With the comfortable morning sun, we were energized and all ready to go all out.
Qns: Your furthest throw today, 57.96, almost broke the 40-year-old record of 58.08. How did it feel!
Justin: I really didn’t expect myself to throw so far today because my previous competition personal best was only around 54. But after the first throw, I felt really good and just went all out. Although I missed it (record) by a little, I still feel great about today’s competition as we all tried our best, leaving behind no regrets. The record was just an extra incentive.

With such fantastic results, our A boys are top of the table with 24 pts, with NJC at 14 and RI at 11.
Super job, everyone! More mouth-watering events await us!
