ANAHEIM, CA – Nikita Pramod, an 8th grader at Fairmont Private Schools in Southern California, delivered an impressive performance at the 2025 Pentathlon National Competition, held May 16–17 in San Antonio, Texas.

Representing Fairmont’s elite team, Nikita earned Silver medals in Literature and Fine Arts and a Bronze in Science, adding to her growing list of accolades from a successful state-level season. Her contributions also helped secure a 2nd Place Team Finish in the prestigious Invited category, repeating her team’s national runner-up success from 2024.

“I’m incredibly grateful to my teammates and coaches,” Nikita said. “I know how lucky I’ve been to have strong support, and I hope to help future Pentathletes who may not have the same resources.”

Known for her discipline and team-first mindset, Nikita credits hard work and preparation for her success. “It took a lot of effort, but it was worth every moment,” she said.

Her parents, Pramod and Suja Pramod, praised both her dedication and character: “We are thrilled by Nikita’s commitment, humility, and drive—not only in academics but in everything she does.”

Beyond the Pentathlon arena, Nikita is a competitive club volleyball player and passionate performing arts enthusiast, making her a standout both in and out of the classroom.
