[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Damyang Office of Education announced on the 18th that it held the 32nd Superintendent's Grade-Level Track and Field Competition at Damyang Chuseong Stadium on the 17th.

The competition featured a total of five events in track and field, conducted separately by gender and grade for elementary and middle school students, with 100 athletes from 11 elementary schools and 74 athletes from 6 middle schools in the district, along with school officials and event staff in attendance.

As the competition had been completely suspended for two years due to COVID-19, the students' mindset toward the event was different from usual.

Although it is still a time to focus on COVID-19 prevention, the students' wholehearted efforts to showcase the skills they have honed signaled a return to normal school life.

By adhering to quarantine guidelines and with the active cooperation of students, accompanying teachers, and event staff, the competition was safely conducted.

Superintendent Lee Sook said in his opening remarks, "Healthy physical strength is the foundation of a happy life, and I hope all participating students grow into lifelong sports enthusiasts who enjoy exercise."

Meanwhile, the grade-level track and field competition focuses on revitalizing school sports, enhancing physical education, and expanding the base of athletes through early discovery and nurturing of outstanding players. Athletes selected with excellent records will represent our county at the Jeollanam-do Superintendent's Grade-Level Track and Field Competition to be held in September this year.
