[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] The Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education is hosting the "32nd Jeollanam-do Superintendent's Cup Grade-Level Track and Field Competition" at Useul Stadium in Haenam-gun from the 29th to the 30th.

A total of 1,016 student athletes participated as representatives of their respective cities and counties, including 588 elementary school students and 428 middle school students who advanced through city and county preliminaries.

Held for the first time in three years due to the impact of COVID-19, this event energized the atmosphere on-site as students participated outdoors without masks following the government's easing of quarantine measures.

Now in its 32nd year, the "Jeollanam-do Superintendent's Cup Grade-Level Track and Field Competition" has established itself not only as a platform for discovering athletic talent in Jeonnam but also as a competition that fosters leaders who will lead future society.

Superintendent Kim Dae-jung stated, "Track and field holds great educational value in challenging one's personal record limits rather than competing for rankings. I hope the participating athletes do not settle for the results of this competition but continue to challenge themselves toward a greater future." He added, "We will continue to provide active support for the development of track and field in Jeonnam and the operation of the 104th National Sports Festival."
