Over four days in Wellington, our Waterpolo Premier Girls competed at the highest level to win the plate division of the North Island Secondary School Champs.
Having to face tough pool rounds, only 1 point separated these fiercely competitive girls from teams that went on to place in second and fourth in the championship rounds. With 4 wins, one draw and one loss, highlights included our first quarter strong lead against eventual silver medallists Rangitoto, triple goal scoring from individual players (in more than one game) and the 3 in-a-row save in a single play from our ever dominant goalie.
The girls should be hugely proud of how they represented the school and are now preparing for the national championships in Auckland in April. We look forward to seeing them battle it out again, swimming fast, scoring goals and winning games.
Not only was it a great competition, the girls also had fun out of the pool with Mexican and Italian themed dinners to keep them fuelled, yoga classes for stretching and ice cream for energy! A great bunch to travel away with.
A big thanks to our Teacher in Charge, Coach and Manager.
