Three sportspersons who seem to juggle studies and games well are elated with their performances in the class X examination. They claim that active participation in sports is no deterrent to a good academic performance.

A student of St John’s High School, Sector 26, Harneet Singh, has scored a rare double. By scoring 91.2 per cent marks, he has emulated his performance in sports. A former winner of the All-India Tennis Association under-14 and under-16 titles, he has represented Chandigarh in the National School Games a number of times.

Harneet, son of a doctor, attributes his success to proper time management, which includes studies, tennis, Internet and computer games. Harneet attributes his success to his elder brother, grandfather and parents.

A basketball player with a number of wins to her credit, Prabhkiran Dhillon, a student of Sacred Heart School, Sector 26, is another student who has secured over 89 per cent. A reputed basketball player, she has represented UT in the National School Games. Prabhkiran said: “All it was four to five hours of daily study with no tuition that helped me achieve this kind of score.” Prabhkiran said she did not stop playing basketball even near her pre-board exams.
