SUBANG JAYA: A team consisted of Taylor’s College’s Canadian Pre-U, South Australian Matriculation and International Baccalaureate (CSI) students took home the first prize for the Scholars’ Sports Day held on 24 and 25 April at Taylor’s University’s (TU) Sports and Recreation Center.
CSI dominated the event by securing 23 points as they won gold medals in the female ping pong, basketball, and male fun run categories.
CAL from Cambridge A Levels (CAL) came in second place with 21 points as they won gold medals in netball, female fun run and futsal.
This year’s edition, co-organised by Sponsorship Support Unit (SSU) and Taylor’s College’s High Flyers Club, also featured Taylor’s School of Medicine (TUSOM) and Taylor’s Undergraduate (TUG) participating as two different teams for the first time.
“The separation is to increase the teams’ quota to join the sports day,” said organising committee member, Muhammad Haziq Mansor, 20.
“Combining TUG and TUSOM will cause a huge pool of players but only small quota of teams can be sent to the tournament,” Haziq said, who studies Medicine and Surgery at TU.
Biomedical Science major Muhammad Nur Alif Mohd Zamri, 21, said, “TUSOM is my enemy during the tournament but we are friends outside of the tournament.”
In the futsal category semi-finals match, TUG 3 defeated TUSOM 2 but TUSOM 4 managed to get their revenge as they defeated TUG 2 in the dodgeball semi-finals.
TUSOM 4 emerged victorious by winning the gold medal in the dodgeball finals, beating ADP 2 from American Degree Transfer Programme (ADP).
Despite being a new team, TUSOM achieved third place position with an overall score of nine points and this was a huge accomplishment for them.
