SWIMMERS ENJOY RECORD SUCCESS
Congratulations to all our swimmers who helped the school to our best ever performance in the Inter International Schools meet. Despite the admission into the event of several large new schools this year, we came in 8th place overall. A record six students won eleven medals (another record) for coming in the top three places:
Maya Weerasinghe Under 14 Girls 1st 50m Freestyle (New Record)
2nd 100m Freestyle
2nd 50m Butterfly
Kithmal Amarasinghe Under 10 Boys 1st 50m Butterfly
Chiharu Higuchi Over 16 Girls 2nd 50m Backstroke
3rd 50m Freestyle
3rd 100m Backstroke
Kanza Dilshard Under 10 Girls 2nd 50m Backstroke
Tiffany Johnpulle Under 16 Girls 3rd 50m Freestyle
3rd 50m Backstroke
Ramudi Samarasekera Under 14 Girls 3rd 200m Freestyle
A further eight students won points for the school by finishing in the top 8. As well as Maya and Chiharu, Kithmal, Tiffany, Ramudi and Alya Ali Rasheed came in the top eight in all three of their events. We also won points in thirteen relays. The results of some of our younger swimmers were especially impressive as many more students compete in these age groups, and more schools in the relays, making it much harder to score points.
TheJuniorSchoolalso held their Inter House Swimming Meet in November. 15 new records were broken, which is further proof that standards are being raised higher and higher every year.
