18 Medals at AIMS Games!

September 18, 2017 at 1:48 PM

What a fantastic week of sporting competition for our Year 7 and 8 students at the AIMS Games in Tauranga last week. Attending one of the biggest sporting events in the southern hemisphere, with over 10,000 athletes representing over 300 schools, this was a non-stop week of competition. 

Our three schools entered teams in basketball, football, futsal, netball, waterpolo and hip hop, as well as entering students in individual codes such as badminton, swimming, tennis, yachting, golf, gymnastics, cross country, multisport and BMX. In some instances players from the Schools joined with those from the College to form the strongest combined squads. 

As play came to a close on Friday, our youngest sportspeople can be proud to deliver a combined total of 17 medals! The first medal of the games came from the College Hip Hop team with the girls collecting silver. Well done to this group of dancers: Ayaana PatelGeorgia EldrettRuby HaddonMaia PerryCharlotte RichardsonMontoya OttawayGemma Whitford-JoyntGeorgia Doughty. 

The biggest haul came from our swimmers, with Boys’ School student, Alexander Dennis bringing home two silver medals for the 100m and 200m backstroke, and a bronze medal for 50m backstroke. Medals were also won by our College swimmers, Sunny Sun and Isabella Campion. Sunny won a gold for 200m freestyle, silver for 100m freestyle and bronze for the 50m freestyle, while Isabella won Bronze in the 100m freestyle and came 3rd overall for the 12-year-old girls, as well as Saint Kentigern winning 3rd overall school. 

Christoph Grant from the Boys’ School had a clean sweep in the tennis coming away with a gold medal and College student, Vivian Wang won a silver medal for badminton. Girls’ School student, Sacha Earnest won two gold medals in the BMX Year 7 girls category for the time trial event and the individual event. College golfers, Stephen Liu won gold and Fiona Xu came away with bronze. The College Tennis team consisting of Yu Dian DongJack LoutitCaleb MattisonJoey Huang andMaddix Brady won an overall silver medal and Jack Loutit and Yu Dian Dong won silver in the doubles. 

Whilst they didn’t medal, special mention should be made of the combined College/Girls’ School netball team who placed 5th out of a whopping field of 122 teams! Boys’ School sailor, George Cole-Baker also placed 3rd in the Silver Fleet Sailing. 

Well done to all the students taking part, especially our medallists!

Our sincere thanks to the staff and parents who accompanied the students for the week away.
