February Sporting Success
As always, it has been a busy few weeks for girls involved with sporting activities. There have been some fantastic achievements, both from individual pupils and teams.
Junior ski team qualifies for Scottish Championships
Two of our junior ski teams headed to compete in the Scottish Schools Alpine series on Wednesday 26th February.
This was a qualifying round and for many, it was their first experience racing. The sun was shining and the snow glistening. Then the wind started blowing, the snow falling and the temperature dropped. The girls took it all in their stride and braved the elements with no complaints.
In the P. 1 – 4 team were: Elsie, Alice, Sofia, Jessica and Minnie. Elsie came 4th in this category – a really fantastic achievement.
In the P.5 – 7 category were: Lucy, Edith, Megan, Sally, Delilah and Hannah. Both Lucy and Edith did exceptionally well, finishing 8th and 9th. Their team have qualified for the Scottish Championships at Glenshee next Wednesday – a great achievement.
Well done girls!
Katherine qualifies for Olympic trials
Katherine from Upper 5 attended the McCullagh International Swimming meet in Ireland last week and had a very successful competition.
She reached the A final of the 200m butterfly, but withdrew to focus on the 1500m swim.
Katherine took the silver medal in the 1500m freestyle, blowing her own personal best out of the water (quite literally!) by six seconds to finish on 17:35.84, claiming her first international event medal.
This fantastic result qualifies her for her second British Olympic trials event at the Olympic pool in April this year.
To top it off, Katherine had another podium finish by taking 3rd place in the 800m freestyle, gaining her another Olympic qualifying time.
Congratulations Katherine!
Michaela plays for team gold medal
Michaela from Upper 6 played in the EuroHockey Indoor Club Challenge with her club, the Dundee Wanderers last weekend.
The competition was held in Porto, Portugal where Michaela and her team played an excelled game to take the gold medal, and gain a promotion to the ‘B’ division for Scotland clubs next year.
Well done Michaela!
Senior Skiiers take to the slopes
Belana and Elisa from Lower 6 headed to the Senior Skiing Championships this week. The girls put in a fantastic effort and thoroughly enjoyed their day.
Well done girls!
