Dear Supporters,

Thank you for the support you have extended for this campaign. The Corona Virus pandemic has put the brakes on much of the sporting activities across the world. We have been left with very little to do except to keep training and maintain a strict workout schedule for the athletes as there are no competitions or athletic events happening. From the looks of it, this could continue for a few more months at least.

All our athletes have chosen to remain at the academy and keep up their training rather than return home. Since our campus is rather isolated and visitors are strictly restricted, it is safe for the athletes to go about their activities. So except for competitions, their routine is the same.

The money collected through Milaap we have used mostly for the daily expenses of the school. We did purchase a new treadmill and a spin bike to help athletes with their strengthening exercises and fitness drill.

Much of our contributions have dried up due to COVID-19 and its adverse effects on businesses, industries, and other occupations. We will be withdrawing the account of Usha School Of Athletics, which will be used for day-to-day expenses and sports gear.

Hopefully, 2021 will see things getting back to normal. There is Olympics scheduled and one of our athletes, Jisna Mathew, has qualified for the mixed relay event. She is hard at work to retain her edge and to be ready for the biggest sporting event in the world.




Thank you all once again for your support. We appreciate each one of you.

Dear Supporter,

Thank you for all the love and support you've shown us. Our students have been training and working hard and it has paid off.

Here are some notable feats and results from a few of the major championships in which athletes from the Usha School of Athletics took part in the last few months: 

One of the most noteworthy achievements for us in the last few months is the IAAF Veteran Pin award for Ms P T Usha. For her long and meritorious service to the cause of world athletics, Ms P T Usha received the IAAF Veteran Pin award from IAAF President Sebastian Coe at Doha, Qatar, during the 52nd IAAF Congress. The international award is a much deserved recognition for the champion athlete and President of the Usha School of Athletics.



Jisna Mathew was part of India’s mixed-relay team that qualified for the 2020 Olympics with their performance at the IAAF World Athletics Championships, Doha, Qatar. Running the 3rd leg of the 4x400m relay, Jisna found her best time of 51.8 sec and helped the team qualify for the finals and book a place in the Olympics.



Athulya Udayan found her best time and clinched a Bronze medal in 800m at the 17the Federation Cup Junior Athletic Championships (Tiruvannamalai, Sept 24-26). She clocked 2:10.05. Athulya follows in the footsteps of Usha School of Athletics' Tintu Luka and Jessy Joseph, both of whom have blazed a trail of superb performances on the tracks in 800m in years past.




Jessy Joseph clinched the silver medal in 800m at the National Inter-State Senior Athletics Championship in Lucknow (August 29). At the same meet, Jisna Mathew won bronze in 400m making it two in two for Usha School of Athletics at the national meet.


Ushaites dominated the Kerala State Inter-District Club Athletic Championship 2019, at Thiruvananthapuram (7 to 9, August), winning 8 firsts in 9 events participated.
At the 31st Southzone Athletic Championships at Uduppi (Sept 14-15), our athletes clinched 4 gold medals, 2 silver medals and a bronze medal.



The Usha School of Athletics hosted this year's Kozhikode District Junior Athletic meet, September 20-21. Several young athletes from across the district participated in the well contested meet. Thirteen Ushaites vied for medals in various categories and all of them did really well, bagging several medals including 6 firsts. Kids from the school's locality, trained as part of our community outreach program (Usha Rural Coaching Program), also clinched a medal from the meet. They won bronze in the 4x100 m relay in U-16 category which is a great result for us.




And that's all the update for the last few months. This wouldn't have been possible without your support and love. We are ever grateful.

Thank You.

Regards,
Ajanachandran
