From 17 to 19 July 2025, the team of 18 Sports School swimmers showcased an extraordinary display of talent and teamwork throughout the three days of swimming competition at the 26th Thailand Sports School Games (TSSG) 2025. Our swimmers made a powerful statement in the pool, coming together with determination, discipline, and unity to achieve an outstanding medal haul of 73 medals (32 gold, 19 silver, and 22 bronze).

Throughout the competition, the swimmers demonstrated not only individual excellence but also a strong team spirit, cheering each other on, sharing strategies, pushing through challenges together, and adapting to surroundings. Their hard work and coordination led to remarkable achievements. These results are a true reflection of each swimmer's commitment and the strength of their team dynamic.

In the Boys’ 13-14 category, Julian Ko dominated the leaderboard, securing first place in five events: the 50m, 100m, and 200m Breaststroke, as well as the 800m Freestyle and 400m Individual Medley. The Secondary 2 student-athlete not only broke his personal bests in the 100m and 200m Breaststroke but also shattered the Meet Records in both these events and the 800m Freestyle.

Meanwhile, in the Girls’ 13-14 category, Elizabeth Macayla Xia shone brightly, clinching four gold medals in the 100m, 200m Breaststroke, 800m Freestyle, and 400m Individual Medley. The Secondary 1 student-athlete demonstrated exceptional skill by setting new personal bests and breaking Meet Records across her events.

Not to be outdone, Joy Neo matched this remarkable achievement in the Girls’ 15-16 category, topping the podium in five events: the 50m, 100m, and 200m Breaststroke, along with the 200m and 400m Individual Medley. The Secondary 3 student-athlete smashed the Meet Records in all five events, showcasing her growth and immense potential. Among the boys in the same age group, Isaac Chua excelled, capturing three gold medals in the 400m, 1500m Freestyle, and 400m Individual Medley.

A major highlight of the games was the recognition of Coach Puay Kheng, who received the Best Coach Award. This prestigious honour celebrates his exceptional leadership, dedication, and ability to bring out the best in every swimmer.

Overall, all 18 swimmers returned with at least one medal. Their performance at the TSSG was nothing short of inspiring, setting a high benchmark for future competitions.

Track and Field


As the baton passed from the pool to the track, our student-athletes rose to the challenge with unwavering determination at the TSSG 2025. From 19 to 23 July, under the sweltering heat of Ubonratchathani, our Track and Field team delivered a blazing performance, clinching an impressive 22 medals (3 Gold, 8 Silver, 11 Bronze).

In the U14 events, Chantel Tan soared to gold in the Girls’ Pole Vault with a personal best. Teammates Alexa Valera Defries and Aura Ramadhania Muhammad Nizar did just as well, emerging as the most decorated student-athletes in the team and contributed four medals apiece. Alexa earned silver in the 400m Hurdles, while Aura clocked a personal best for bronze in the 100m. Together with teammates Elia Owen, Maeva Masrezwan, and Neha Sundar, they also secured two silvers and a bronze across the relays.

In the U16 events, Muhammad Aaryan Shah Azhar powered through with a full set of medals, including gold in Triple Jump, a silver in Long Jump and a bronze in the 4x100m Relay with teammates Eshan Shayaan Ahmed Ridzwan, Mohammed Thamir Khairan Mohammed Faduli and Elessa Marc David. Meanwhile, Ashley Seah Jia En sprinted to gold in the 100m Hurdles.

In the U18 events, Reina Lau, a final-year IBDP student-athlete, contributed to the team’s success, leaping her way to two well-deserved bronze medals in the Girls’ Long Jump and Triple Jump.

Their outstanding performance at TSSG 2025 marked by personal bests, podium finishes, and unshakable spirit, reflects not only their sporting excellence, but also their strength of character forged through determination, teamwork, and resilience.
