SENIOR SCHOOL Emily swimming towards her goal Year 10 student and swimming champion Emily Nayler (10Be) has had a tough few months with pools closed and training postponed or cancelled. Then came the announcement that she had been awarded the Jack Howson Trophy for the most consistent 15-year-old female performer at the SunSmart Swimming Championships. “This year I was fortunate enough to receive the John Howson Trophy at the Westpac Swimmer of the Year Awards (WA). The Jack Howson Trophy is awarded to the swimmer who is the most consistent 16-yearold male or 15-year-old female performer at the SunSmart State Age Long Course Swimming Championships. Selection for this Award is based on the total number of points gained in long course Olympic events. Once these points were collated, Joshua Edwards– Smith and I were named joint winners. It has been a difficult couple of months, as it has for everyone, with sporting commitments postponed or cancelled and pools closed. We did a lot of land-based training, which is perfect for working our strength, but it is not great for our fitness levels. Although it was tough, it reminded me how important swimming is to me and has motivated me to get back to training as soon as I can to reach my goal of being on the Australian team in the future.” Emily Nayler (10Be) Ethan’s Club Cricket Success Congratulations to Ethan Richards (7Sc) who ended his club cricket season on a high note, opening the batting for the Mount Lawley District Cricket Club 13s in their John Inverarity Shield game against Fremantle. Despite being knocked to the ground twice by some fairly hostile bowling, Ethan went on to make a bruised fifty not out. Ethan’s season average of 35 in grade cricket was a promising start in his first districts season and he has been selected to play for the Mount Lawley District Cricket Club in the 13s again next season. Playing cricket in the Guildford Grammar School 7A Team has been the best part of Ethan’s time at school – so far. The highlight of a shortened season was the team winning an excellent game against Christ Church Grammar School on 21 February.
