THE National Inter-Bank Athletics meet ended at the Merdeka Stadium on a
disappointing note.
Maybank walked away as the Division One overall winners with 24 golds,
17 silvers and 12 bronze medals while Sime Bank finished a distant second
with a 8-6-3 count.
In Division Two, Rashid Hussain Bank won the overall medal count with
208 points while Hock Hua Bank came in second with 199 points.
D. Thirukumaran of Maybank was the only athlete who broke the meet
record yesterday when he finished the 20km walk in a time of 31:19.2.
The other national athletes, Romzi Bakar, P. Jayanti and Loo Kum Zee
could not even match the meet record, let alone go near the national
marks.
The Best Overall Athlete award went to Cheng Tong Lean of Sime Bank.
Tong Lean broke the 10km walk meet record and also won the 5km walk
gold.
