Although we strive for maximum participation and a life time investment in sport for all we are also incredibly proud of our high achievers
this year. The following individuals have taken their performance to the next level and have been rewarded with international honours.
Switzerland having achieved phenomenal
success.
On an individual basis Joseph
Rossi placed first, taking the gold medal for
combined slalom and giant slalom in his age
and race category and finishing 24th out of
168 racers. Silas Curtis put in a particularly
impressive performance too placing 26th (out
of 168) and beating many boys older than
himself to achieve this position.
These individual performances, combined
with fast times from Austin Curtis and
Ruari Hutchinson in giant slalom and slalom
respectively meant that overall the team
placed 9th out of 33.
squash: The Wellington Squash team
made Wellington history by coming third in
the Nationals Squash Tournament, a clear
indication that squash is firmly on the upgrade
at College.
They continued their good form by also
winning the prestigious Roehampton Public
Schools Tournament. The College squash
team have never before achieved such
outstanding success and have now placed
themselves on the map as one of the best
school squash teams in the country.
triathlon: Wellington did extremely
well in Great Britain selection races for the
World Age Group Triathlon Championships
in Beijing in September.
Two of our pupils qualified: Jo-Jo Blunt
and Harriette Johnson coming first and
third in their age group. Patrick Garratt
will almost certainly qualify as he was within
the required time and finished fifth. Steve
