TURA, July 12, 2025: Athletes from Garo Hills are making waves in the world of water sports with seven young sportspersons representing the Tura Adventure Club (TAC) earning spots in an elite training program following a standout performance at the Meghalaya Canoe Association’s (MCA) Kayaking Summer Camp.
Held from July 10-12 at Whitewater Village in Umtham, Ri-Bhoi, the three-day camp brought together promising talents from across Meghalaya to hone their skills in canoeing, kayaking, and rafting. The event served as a crucial scouting ground for the upcoming National Games, with the goal of identifying athletes for advanced training.
The Tura contingent, selected from a prior TAC-organized camp, showcased remarkable discipline and enthusiasm despite limited prior experience. Their adaptability and grit paid off, as all seven athletes secured places in an intensive training program under world-class coaches, set to begin July 18 at Whitewater Village.
“This is a proud moment for Garo Hills,” said a TAC spokesperson. “Our athletes have shown incredible potential, putting our region on the national water sports map.”
The Tura Adventure Club expressed gratitude to the MCA, parents, and the community for their unwavering support, which has been instrumental in nurturing this emerging talent.
