SelaQui International School, among the best residential and CBSE boarding schools in the country, boasts of excellent ground facilities.
The school cricket ground was chosen by Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) as the venue for the Uttarakhand State Women’s Cricket Camp! The same began on the 15th of November and the selections will conclude on 28th November.
The selected women will be the part of Uttarakhand Cricket team.
“Cross Country: No half times, no time outs, no substitutions. It must be the only true sport”.
It was that time of the year again! The entire school was out in the crisp morning air, SeQuins were trying to gather whatever warmth they could and failing spectacularly at it. However, the cold could not dampen the spirit of the SeQuins and the enthu-siasm that surrounded the Inter-House Cross Country. The values and traits that cross country running inculcates in athletes stay with them long after they have crossed the finish line.
Cross country running is a unique test of endurance because it puts emphasis on conquering the course rather than beating fellow runners and consequently fosters camaraderie. The parking lot was filled with excited chatter as the senior boys lined up at the starting point. The Headmaster flagged off the race and the SeQuins bolted. Rapturous cheering kept egging us on throughout the 5 km course.
When the dust settled, Kabir Kapur emerged as the winner in the Senior Boys’ category followed by Shaurya Veer Singh and Bharat Tokas in the second and third position respectively.
The course for the juniors and girls was 3.2 km long and Kalyani Singh put up a remarkable performance to earn the top spot in the Girls’ category while Inaiyat Kohli secured the second position and Praanjal Wason was the second runners-up. In the Junior Boys’ category, Vansh Singhal fought off some determined competition to bag the first position while Debi Prasad secured the second position fol-lowed by Advait Datar who came third.
