Past Pupils Win International Medals


Two of our past pupils at the College have competed at international sporting events with fantastic success in the past couple of weeks.  

Rower Johannah Kearney took a silver medal at the U23 Rowing World Championships in Varese, Italy, as part of the New Zealand Coxless Four.  Along with her fellow crew members (Emma Dyke, Kelsi Walters and Olivia Loe) they fought hard through heats and repecharges to win a place in the final where a strong finish gave them a podium place.  

Cyclist Holly Edmondston (who now trains in Cambridge) was part of the New Zealand team to travel to Korea for the Junior World Track Cycling Championships.  Competing against riders much older than her 17 years she and her team mates have won a bronze medal in the Team Pursuit.
