Our sports contingent is back from the All India Sports Meet at BITS, Pilani.
They beat the heat in unfamiliar territory and gave us our all-time best haul, making us ever so proud! Heres the report card...

Swimming
They came, they swam, they conquered is probably what other teams would tell you about our fab four. Best Overall Swimmer Varun Divgikar (who recently represented Maharashtra at the Senior National Aquatics Championships at New Delhi and won gold in his pet event 50m freestyle with a scintillating time of 24.00 sec beating many acclaimed veterans) snapped up all 4 gold medals in individual events, with Sahil Bhatia yet again winning 4 medals including 3 silvers and a bronze. Sidhant Bakhru too joined the party with 2 bronze medals and the 3 of them combined with Punit Mehra to win one silver and two bronze in the relay events. Quite a haul, isn t it? But stellar performances from all 4 swimmers of SBM Jain College meant that TSEC had to settle for 2nd place overall.

Tennis
The quartet of Saahil Peerbhoy, Neeraj Doshi, Karan Raheja and Jaideep Singh won 3 out of 4 league matches, losing the odd league encounter, as well as the finals, to S.B.M. Jain College, ending up with an impressive 2nd place overall.

Football
Tournament top-scorer and captain Darryl Lowe s team started with a bang in the league stages, thrashing MIT(Moradabad) 6-0, and again 5-0, which was more than sufficient to qualify for the final stages. But the schedule handed out by the BITS officials was less than friendly and meant that our boys had to play 4 matches in 48 hours. The insufficient rest took its toll on the players as they lost 3-0 to BITS (Pilani) and 3-1 to MNIT (Jaipur). Nonetheless, our football team earned a well-deserved 3rd place.

Table Tennis
The TSEC TT team led by Suketu Bhuta with team-mates Punit Mehra, Arun Sharma and Nitin Nair started promisingly,beating Jagad Guru College 3-2 but failed to qualify from their group after going down tamely to the home team BitsA.

Cricket
Playing only the second time in a tournament outside Mumbai, the TSEC cricket team failed to impress with an ordinary 94 all out in 18 overs, which enabled a formidable Jai Hind College team to land TSEC a first round knockout punch, scoring the required runs in a mere 12 overs.
