On Oct, 26 and 27, 2007, the USTC sports meeting was held on the sports field of east campus. 230 athletes from School of Information Science & Technology participated at this sports meeting. The number of athletes from this school was the largest. Also, it is unprecedented for this school that such a great number of athletes attended this sports meeting. 

During the sports meeting, the athletes from School of Science and Technology shone and showed their high proficiency in such sports as running, high jump, long jump and tabbing, with the spirit of struggling for the first place. What’s more, they got the first place in men’s javelin throw, men’s 800-meter running, women’s triple jump, male postgraduates’ 100-meter running. As an old saying goes, the minutes of performance on the stage needs a decade of practice off the stage. The contestants of our school did hard training before this sports meeting, with an attempt to achieve good results. For this purpose, they devoted their energy and efforts to the training and thus abandoned the time for their rest and entertainment. Several participants got injured in the training, but they did not care about it. The only thing that they really care was to do their best and win honor for their school.

As a matter of course, in this event, some of them ran as fast as a speeding bullet, and others were as light as air in long jump, tabbing and rope skipping. Their excellent performance gave rise to a lot of applause.

On the spot, both participants and audience were filled with passion. Wave after wave of applause and cheers spread among the crowd, the cheering squad in particular. For example, some kept pace with the athletes in the long running, and others prepared to catch the perfect moment at any time by camera.

At 5 o’clock, on the afternoon of Oct 27, the closing ceremony began. The exciting moment coming, everyone hold one’s breath to listen to the result silently.

The annunciation of the results caused a great sensation: The School of Information Science & Technology won the first place in team scores. There was a stir of excitement, with a smile on everyone’s face. How many efforts people have devoted to get the first place! What’s more,the leaders of our school paid attention to a lot of aspects, ranging from the affairs on the sports field, such as the basketball match and the badminton match, to the honor guard, service, propagation reports, organization of audience, communication, the participation of leaders and the rope-skipping match.
