We are incredibly proud of former WGHS student Jo Aleh. At the Paris Olympics, she and track cyclist Aaron Gate were named Ngā Pou Hapai (flag bearers) for the New Zealand team!

Sailing athlete Jo Aleh is a two-time Olympic medalist, winning gold at the London 2012 Olympics and silver at the Rio 2016 Olympics alongside her crewmate Polly Powrie. Since then, Aleh has partnered with Rio silver medalist Molly Meech, and together, they are set to compete in the 49er FX event at the Paris Games.
