Otago Representative Honours

We wish to acknowledge Elise Carline, who co-captained the Otago Under 15 Basketball Team which competed at the Nationals held in Auckland recently. The team finished seventh overall, following wins against Southland, Nelson, Counties Manukau, and Taranaki. The Otago Team lost by a narrow margin to Hawkes Bay, which proceeded to finish third. Elise was Otago’s top performer in three of the games and the highest overall points scorer for the Otago team at the tournament.

Maria Carter and Georgia Tomlinson represented Otago recently for Rhythmic Gymnastics at the Gymnastics New Zealand National Championships held in Auckland. Maria competed as an individual and finished 20th nationally and Georgia formed part of a team that was sixth overall.

Yui Ishikawa performed in the Unders Age Group at the National Step 7 Nationals and finished a commendable 11th overall.

Congratulations to all of these students on their achievements.
