(Central News Agency reporter Chen Jung-chen, Chiayi, 21st) At the 115th National High School Games, rising hurdles star Lin Tzu-chieh today won the gold medal in the girls' 100m hurdles final with a new competition record of 13.30 seconds, also ranking 3rd in the world U16. She now aims to qualify for the Nagoya Asian Games.
The 115th National High School Games are being held in Chiayi County. Lin Tzu-chieh, a promising hurdles star from Mingde Junior High School in New Taipei City, once again demonstrated her dominance in the girls' 100m hurdles event, breaking the competition record three times from the preliminaries, semifinals, to the final. Her final performance also ranked 3rd in the world U16. She concludes her junior high school career with three consecutive championships in the 100m hurdles at the National High School Games.
Lin Tzu-chieh, nicknamed "A-Mei," stated in a joint media interview that she had aimed to break the competition record three times before the event. However, she was not entirely satisfied with her final performance, but at least she executed the details she had practiced and adjusted, approaching the competition with a relaxed mindset. "By gaining experience through competitions, I won't be so nervous when I go abroad or face bigger competitions in the future."
Next, Lin Tzu-chieh will challenge adult hurdles (83.8 cm), seeking to qualify for the Nagoya Asian Games at the New Taipei International Track and Field Open in June, aiming to advance to the Asian Games as a junior high school student. Lin Tzu-chieh shared that the most important thing is that her coach believes in her, so it doesn't matter if she can't achieve her goal, as it means there are still details she hasn't prepared for, and she won't feel frustrated. "Gaining competition experience is also a reward." (Editor: Chang Ya-ching) 1150421
