Hitchin Girls’ School SPORTS’ REPORT SUMMER 2012 The summer has been one of the most disrupted summers that we, in the PE department, can remember for many years, due to the inclement weather. We have had a number of important fixtures and events postponed and so at the time of going to press are still in the middle of trying to complete all our matches, clubs and many of our lessons. We started the Easter holidays with our first Senior Netball Tour to Malta where our Senior Netball players took part in a busy week of coaching and fixtures, against a number of British and International teams. The students were excellent Ambassadors for the school, both on and off the sports’ field. Congratulations also to Miss Mellowship and Miss O’Reilly for completing the London Marathon at the beginning of this term. A few days into the Summer term, our Cricketers took part in the Regional rounds for Women’s Cricket. They all played commendably against some tough opposition. Our Gifted and Talented athletes attended a training afternoon, where they were coached in the finer points of a number of events. Also our GCSE and A level PE and Dance students worked hard at the beginning of the term to complete their practical coursework. Many of the Year 11 students took part in a highly charged Saturday revision session and our dancers displayed their choreography in an ‘Evening of Dance’ for parents and friends. Many of our students have been taking part in the Inter- House League although the weather has caused us to postpone and re-arrange a considerable number of these fixtures. We are hopeful that we will be able to complete this League before the end of term. A large Year 7 team also took part in a Sporting Festival at Knights’ Templar School, where they participated in a wide range of Paralympic activities including Wheelchair Basketball and Boccia. Our Sports’ Leaders are coming to the end of their level 1, 2 And 3 Awards, continuing to develop their coaching and leadership skills in school, in our local feeder schools and at local festivals. Our Year 10 Netball players have completed their Young Netball Leaders Award. Our athletes have competed at County and District level and also in the County Championships and District Championships. We started the term with the County Multi Events Championships, with our Under 17 team of Olivia Dixon, Alice Sunderland and Fran Maydom finishing in 2nd place overall. Individually, they all finished in the top 12 with Fran Maydom being selected as second reserve for the County Schools team. At Under 15 level, Sophie Pyle achieved 21st place. She also achieved 7th place overall in the Hertfordshire Pentathlon Championship later in the term. At the Individual County Championships, Emily Evans finished in 1st place in the Under 17 Hammer event and has been selected to represent Hertfordshire at the English Schools’ Championship in July. At County level, Alessandra Stevens finished second in the Under 17 Hammer, Kirsty Bateman-Foley finished 2nd in the Under 17 Javelin and Vicky Marquiss achieved 6th in the Under 17 300m. At Under 15 level, Ellie Mann was 5th in the 200m and Alana Hollingsworth Biggs was 12th in the 1500m. In her first athletics season, Synovia Green (Year 7) achieved an outstanding 2nd place in the 100m finals at Under 13 level. Alessandra Stevens also competed at East Region Club level in Hammer where she finished in 1st place, ranking her at 14th in the UK. At District level our Year 7 (A and B teams) finished 2nd overall, the Year 8 (B and C) team finished 2nd and the Year 9 (B and C) team were overall winners! At County League level, our Year 8 and Year 10 teams, reached the plate finals where they finished in 6th and 4th place respectively. The Senior District Championship took place on the evening before the examinations started and we were delighted that our Senior team finished in 1st place overall. The District Championships for other years saw all girls work hard in some tough competitions with many Gold, Silver and Bronze medals being won in a number of events. Overall, we achieved 4th place in the Year 8 competition and were 2nd in the Year 9 and joint 1st place in the Year 7 and 10 competitions. District Champions were Hettie Inniss (Hurdles), Olivia Dixon (Hurdles), Kirsty Bateman-Foley (100m and Javelin), Synovia Co ntact : 07092 986 308 -17-
