Athletics is one of the major events of Rastrapati Running Shield. It is a high school
level competition under aged of 18 up to grade 12. This is a study on the performances
in athletics events that were conducted in 2082 BS. The study contrasts the best
performances of athletes comparing between 2 districts along with the central level
of the same year and also matched with the high school and national records of the
events. Secondary data are used to evaluate and analyze the performances. The
performance results at the central level are optimistic as the performances are very
close to the National High School records and break the earlier records in some events
too. This is a great sign of future possibilities. In that case, the Athletic Association of
Nepal and National Sports Council have to choose the talented athletes and enroll
them in proper training programs. This will eventually help them excel in their
performance to gain medals at the international level.
