The success of MR. TRINITY 2023 would not have been possible without the invaluable support of Mr.Kanchana Galagoda the Master in Charge (MIC), Mr. M. Wijerathna the instructor and the Physical Culture club who were instrumental in ensuring the event’s success.
It was a testament to the Physical culture club’s dedication to nurturing the potential of these young powerlifters and bodybuilders encouraging a sense of sportsmanship and maintaining a healthy body that will undoubtedly leave a lasting memory and an impact on the participants.
The bodybuilding contest and the Powerlifting Championship were more than just two sporting events; they were a celebration of the passion and perseverance of the young lifters and bodybuilders who graced the platform.
We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Principal Rev. Fr. Araliya Jayasundara OSB, Vice Principal Mr. Krishanthan Anthonydas, and the Physical Culture Club of Trinity College for their dedicated efforts in organising these events.
