"BREAKING one record is already a daunting task for most athletes.
For Lynette Lim Enxuan, however, it took her just three attempts to smash an incredible seven records in the triple jump at the tender age of 15."
Lynette Lim Enxuan is the alumni from our club. Being in the track and field team CCA for her school (Cedar Girls' Secondary School), she has smashed a stunning record for the triple jump event in the recent National Inter-School Track & Field Championships, setting a new mark for national junior, youth best performance, Under-23, U-19, U-17 and B Division records! More impressively, it even rewrote the 2009 national record of 11.73m set by Mariam Shazana Jalalludin in Vietnam!
As Master Lee has been maintaining contact with her father, Mr Alex Lim, he had sent an email to us to share the good news. Mr Lim shared that Lynette has learnt a lot throughout her years in Taekwondo, and it has helped to mould to her strong-spirited attitude today. Below (italicized) is the email from Mr Alex Lim:
*********************************************************************************
"Lynette Lim is an Anglican TKD alumna, who started TKD lessons at Elias CC when she was in Primary 3. As she progressed from white belt to junior black belt, she was particularly keen on Kyorugi and trained very hard with coaches at Elias CC, Mountbatten CC and Tampines Changkat CC. With reinforced discipline and intense trainings by dedicated coaches, especially Coach Tan Tak Hua and Master Lee, and a personal desire to excel, Lynette had managed to win various prizes in both Poomsae and Kyorugi competitions.
At Secondary 2, she decided to dedicate more time on her new found interest in track and field jumps. Although the sport is different, she recognizes that to do well, there is still the need for the same discipline, focus and inspiration, which she learnt while in Anglican TKD. She brought this fighting spirit and attitude into jumps and continue do well by winning prizes and breaking records. http://www.tnp.sg/sss/content/seventh-heaven-lynette
I hope the young students at Anglican TKD appreciate the opportunity to learn something while having TKD lessons. It is not just about how well you kick or block, but the discipline, fighting spirit and attitude that you need to bring into the sport. As a parent, I am proud of her achivements regardless in TKD or jumps and I am equally appreciative of the fact that her time spent at Anglican TKD played a significant role in her childhood development. I hope her achievements will be an inspiration to others just like she got hers from Anglican TKD.
Thank you to Master Lee, Coach Tan, other coaches (Sin-Yu, Pei-Qi, Esther and others, whom I apologise that I can't remmember everyone's names) and sparring partners who had trained with her."
*********************************************************************************************
We certainly hope that Lynette will continue to do well and strive for greater heights in the sport and her success stories be shared with all as an inspiration and motivation!
Let's wish her all the best and render our support to her for the Top 10 TNP School Sports Stars 2013! Click here to vote!
