“My hard work has paid off,” remarks Dipali Bajaj grade 9 student of Inventure Academy who defeated some of the best sportsmen in the state and secured second position in Javelin Throw at 22nd DYSS –Karnataka State Junior and Senior Athletics Championship-2010!
“The fact that I am 14 and most of the participants in Under 16 group were elder to looked bigger and stronger than me, made me a little nervous initially,” says Dipali recalling how she felt beig among the cream of sportpersons from across the state.

But the Inventure Academy athletics coach Srinivas Naidu, who has been training Dipali during After School Sports session says he was very confident about his student's performance at the meet.
