Inaugural edition of the Josephian relay Championship was held on the 24th of September 2016 at the Ministry of sports grounds at Torrington. Organised by the Athletic advisory committee of St. Joseph’s college Colombo this event saw 08 top institutions (Boys & Girls) of the country vie for honors in the discipline of relays.
Past pupils of St Joseph’s Chaminda Vass (Former national cricketer) & Angelo Mathews (Current National Cricket captain) graced the occasion as guests of honor.
The organisers had also included events for the past athletes of the respective schools to compete in the relays in three different age groups (19-25Yrs, 25-35Yrs, 35Yrs & above) that saw a number of past athletes donning their beloved school colors once more.
Another notable addition was the mix relay where a boys school was partnered with their respective sister school to battle out for honors.
Overall & age group championships were awarded for the events which were keenly contested and the organizing committee were thrilled with the turn out of the racing enthusiast who had turned up for this fabulous event that fostered camaraderie amongst the athletes past and present .
