|October 16, 2025
Maris Stella College Negombo and Lyceum International Wattala retained the boys' and girls' overall titles respectively as the All Island Schools Games Athletics Championship concluded at Diyagama on Tuesday.
Venudaya de Silva of Mahinda College Galle established two meet records.
While Ayomal Akalanka of Ambagamuwa MMV and Jithma Wijetunga of Lyceum International bagged the best athlete titles respectively in the boys' and girls' categories, there were many outstanding performances as 38 new meet records were established during the five-day meet.
For Akalaka, it was the second consecutive Best Athlete title at this championship after having won the same last year. What was special was the blistering time he returned as he became the first Sri Lankan in more than two decades to have run the 400 metres hurdles under 50 seconds.
