TUSOM Sports Day 2014

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Medical School Sports Day was organized by batch 5 a day before the Annual Dinner on the 15th of October 2014. The Sports Day is organized every year by the Medical School not only to increase the awareness among students and staffs about the importance of caring for one’s health but also to strengthen the bonds between fellow students and lecturers by interacting in the field rather than in the class settings. Our batch had volunteered to join in the futsal, dodge ball as well as the basketball tournament.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We arrived at 8 am at the basketball court in Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus where the Sports Day is going to be held. The event was set to officially start at 8.30 but it was delayed as the registration process took a while. While waiting, each batch warmed up to prepare themselves for the marathon as well as the tournament later in the day. At 9 sharp, those that registered for the marathon gathered at the starting point and we ran around the campus following the route which had been assigned to us. Many participated in the marathon including the lecturers. The first three participants to return to the starting line were awarded. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience for me because I had not exercised in a while ever since entering Medical School due to the hectic daily schedule.

Later, we stayed on to cheer for our futsal, basketball and dodge ball team. Our futsal team was against Batch 4 and even though we did not win, I could see the cooperation and hard work that all the team mates had put in. Our basketball team did really well too despite not winning the overall match.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Batch 4, the long standing winner, formed very strong teams, thus winning both futsal and basketball tournament. They emerged as the overall winner as well and the price giving ceremony was held during the Annual Dinner.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had a great time bonding with my fellow medical students and lecturers in the event. Also, the event acts as a platform for us to release all the accumulated stress and tension felt while studying.
