PolyU’s Best Athlete 2012
A first-year student in BSc (Hons) in Surveying has been named
Poly's Best Athlete for 2012. Mr Wong Lok Hei has a talent for
Long Jump, his favorite sporting event, which challenges him
to be the best that he can be. According to him, excellence is
only achieved when the body is in sync with the mind. Even
though it may be difficult to strike a balance between the time
spent on training with the Athletics Team and studying for his
degree, he has learnt time management skills to juggle all his
commitments. He exhibits the same determination to excel in
both athletics and his studies. A Track and Field Coach for a
number of local primary and secondary schools, he has been
the Hong Kong team representative in Track and Field at the
2009 East Asian Games and the 13th Asian Junior Athletic
Championships in 2008. He is honoured to have served as
Deputy Chair of the PolyU Sports Team Working Group, where
he had the opportunity to meet various team members of
PolyU's Athletics Team and help organize activities like Info
Day, O Camp, and the Sports Team annual dinner. His active
participation in these events has added to his confidence in his
abilities. Congratulations to Mr Wong for his achievements.
