All the latest news and results from the Sports Department.

Cricket
Well done to our Girls 1st XI who won the recent TSS T20 Girls Tournament. Congratulations also to our 1st XI Boys Cricket team who travelled to Christchurch to play a very strong and experienced Willows team. The team had a great day out with some good performances from the lads. Player of the day was Eli Gapes for both his bowling and batting prowess.

School and TSS Athletics
We had a great turnout at the School Athletics, and 80 students taking part in the TSS Athletics. School records were broken by Rhian Douglas in the 100m, 200m and 400m. Luca Brockley for the Triple Jump, Amelia Clark the 3000m and Bella Cain-Townley the 800m. For the TSS Champs, Rhian Douglas again beat the existing 100m, 200m and 400m, Molly McManus the 300m Hurdles, 80m Hurdles and Triple Jump, and Ben Walker in the High Jump.

Swimming
Congratulations to all those who took part in the School Swimming Sports held recently. Sam Wilson broke two records, the 1 length Butterfly and the 200m Freestyle. Awesome Sam!

Ki o Rahi
Our senior mixed Ki o Rahi team had a steep learning curve learning the rules of Ki o Rahi. After working as a team exceptionally well, they were triumphant in winning the final of the TSS Senior Champs held at Nayland College.

Standup paddleboarding
A group of 30 students competed at the annual TSS Paddleboarding Champs which here held at Tahunanui Beach. Lachie Greenaway won his final to take out the Senior Boys title. A brilliant day out.

Volleyball

School Cross country
The school cross country is to be run on Tuesday 9 May down at Saxton Fields. Good luck to all competitors.

Uniform return
Can all outstanding uniforms from Term One please be returned to the Sports Office. It is difficult to get teams into uniforms if we have not had all uniforms returned.
