SINGAPORE – Less is definitely more for Victoria Junior College (VJC) student Conrad Emery who made a quantum leap with a new A Division boys’ long jump record at the National School Games (NSG) track and field championships on April 12.

The 17-year-old’s winning effort of 7.36m not only eclipsed the previous mark of 7.26m set by Hwa Chong Institution’s Abel Lee in 2022, but it was also a significant improvement from his winning jump of 6.73m in the 2023 competition.
