San Antonio, TX – Fairmont Private Schools student Nikita Pramod returned from the 2025 Pentathlon National Finals with several medals and a reputation as one of the competition’s brightest young talents. The eighth grader earned silver medals in literature and fine arts and a bronze medal in science during the two-day championship, held May 16–17 in San Antonio, TX. Her performance also helped Fairmont’s Invited-division squad secure second place overall, matching the team’s podium finish at last year’s Nationals.

Competing against elite middle-school scholars from across the United States, Nikita drew praise for both academic mastery and poise under pressure. “Nikita’s preparation and composure were evident in every event,” a Pentathlon parent noted. “She exemplifies the balance of intellect, creativity, and teamwork the Pentathlon is designed to foster.”

Discipline, Preparation, and Team Spirit

Team mates describe Nikita as a quiet force whose success is built on countless hours of focused study and practice rounds. “She approaches every subject with the mindset of an athlete in training,” said one. “Her discipline sets the tone for our entire team.”

In remarks after the awards ceremony, Nikita credited her achievements to a strong support network, “I’m incredibly grateful to my coaches and teammates. Their encouragement pushed me to keep working through every late night of reading and practice quizzes.” She added that she hopes to mentor younger Pentathletes who may not have the same resources she enjoyed, “I want to pay it forward, especially for students just starting their journey.”

A Family’s Pride in a Well-Rounded Scholar

Parents Suja and Pramod expressed admiration for their daughter’s relentless drive. “Nikita gives her best effort whether she’s studying, playing volleyball, or rehearsing lines for a play,” they said in a joint statement. “Her determination and humility make us proud every day.”

Outside the academic arena, Nikita plays competitive club volleyball and is active in theater and performing arts—commitments that demand careful time management yet enrich her educational experience.

Looking Ahead

With her middle-school career drawing to a close, Nikita now turns her attention to high-school studies and new athletic seasons. Nikita’s well wishers believe her Nationals triumph is a preview of greater accomplishments to come.
