Kochi: Ancy Sojan, a silver medalist in the 2022 Asian Games, is making a comeback to the State School Athletic Meet, this time as a coach. A native of Nattika in Thrissur, Ancy holds four records in the athletic meet. She now returns to mentor her sister, ES Anjali, who competes in the senior girls’ long jump and triple jump events.

Ancy, who has been training at the National Athletics Camp in Bengaluru, has returned home during the off-season to support Anjali's training. In the first event, after training under her sister’s guidance, Anjali won two gold medals at the Thrissur District Revenue Meet to earn a ticket to the state-level event.
