BACKWe had a team of 38 swimmers who represented the school and delivered an outstanding performance at the North Harbour Swimming Zone Day, dominating the pool to bring home a phenomenal haul of 36 medals. With 19 Gold, 10 Silver, and 7 Bronze medals won, it was a big day in the pool for our swimmers, many of whom had just competed at the NZ Open Swimming Championships the week prior. While every swimmer contributed to this massive success, special mention goes to our individual gold medal winners: Ya (Amy) Tian, Grayson Coulter, Amber Lin, Henry Wang, Elwin Bao, and Isabella Wang.
With our fantastic zone day results, we have many of our students qualify for the prestigious Champ of Champs event, which took place in the morning followed by Individual Champs in the afternoon. It was a long day but a very successful one, as our team collected 37 medals, which included a total of ten Auckland titles. Well done to our individual gold medalists from the day, including Grayson Coulter (6), Amber Lin (4), India Vaughan, Isabella Wang, William Zhang, Elvin Wang, and Sean Burke.
The team now sets their focus on NZSS Swimming in late July, where they look to reclaim their Top Co-Ed school title.
We would also like to acknowledge two students who have been selected to represent New Zealand this year. Congratulations to Sean Burke, who competed at the Oceania Swimming Championships in Fiji, and Grayson Coulter, who will compete at the Junior Pan Pacific Championships in Canada in August.
