What is your age?
17 this year
Which primary and secondary school were you from?
St. Hilda's Primary and St. Hilda's Secondary
When did you do 9min 20sec?
One of the time trials in July when I applied through DSA to Hwa Chong.
Why did you have to do the trial?
I had to show that I have the talent/ability for running, as well as to show that I can go to the school I want with the trial timing.
What made you to train hard for running dsa or appeal for your chosen school?
I wanted to achieve my target of going into a good school and to be a top runner.
Any other time-trial that you have done recently.?
With 1 month training, I did 18m 52sec for 5km trial.. I was happy with my time for the 5km time trial, given that 1 month training, I improved a lot. I believe that with a longer training period, I can improve even further.
Why did you not run the national cross-country races in the past?
My school did not have a cross-country team or participate in this event, but I participated in the annual cross-country internal school-based event.
Can you tell us about your training to achieve 8min 03sec for the CJC time trial?
I trained after my GCE 'O' Levels with the Hwa Chong Cross-Country team everyday except uring holiday trips and public holidays, with a rest day per week. I did mileage of about 8-12km per day.
How is your parents support?
My parents fully supported my interest in running.
Now that you have been told that you have a chance to become a champion, what are you going to do about it?
I will train hard and reach my targets, as well as to break my personal bests
