Hitchin Girls’ School Green (Long Jump and 200m), Ellie Mann (200m), Ria Xenophontas (Shot) and Maddy Davies (Discus). A special mention to Kirsty Bateman-Foley who now holds the record for the Year 10 Javelin at District level. We continue to challenge all of our students who are taught Athletics during lessons, to complete the 5 star Award scheme; this year, the top award of 5 stars was being calculated as this bulletin went to press and will be announced in Final Assembly. The week of Sports’ Day was especially busy as we made this our Olympic themed week, where students were given the opportunity to take part in numerous extra activities. In PE lessons the girls were able to access the expertise of Rugby coaches, Cheerleader coaches, Specialist Dance workshops, Wheelchair Basketball and took part in workshops run by the GB Jump Rope team. Sports’ Day took place over two days but culminated in an Olympic Sports’ Day afternoon, all teams represented a country with a display of flags and mascots. We were delighted that a number of our old girls, who are existing record holders, were able to return for the afternoon and present our special commemorative medals in their particular events. The trophies this year were won by Year 11 (Senior), 9A (Intermediate) and 7J (Junior) with the House trophy being won by Austen. As part of our involvement in the Olympic Get Set programme, we were given 16 tickets for the Women’s Football events which will be distributed at the end of this term. One of our most exciting individual achievements this Summer happened at the Olympic Stadium, where Maria Verdeille (Year 11) qualified to compete in the 100m and 200m in an International Pre-Test event and the National School Games. She achieved two consecutive Personal Best results in the 100m over 2 days, with a Season’s Best in the 200m. We are all very proud of Maria’s achievements and look forward to seeing her compete at a high level in the future. A special mention also to Sophie Pyle who competed at National level in Diving where she finished in 11th place in the 14–16 age group. Also, many congratulations to Charlotte Reid who competed in the ASA National Championships in Sheffield where she qualified for the finals in the 50m Backstroke. In doing do, she also broke the East Region record for this event which means that she holds the fastest time within 6 counties. Congratulations to Louisa Field (Year 7) who achieved first place overall in the Herts. Artisitc Gynmastics Grade 9 competition and then went on to win second place in the Regional Championship. Our Rounder’s teams have continued to play well this season. At the District tournaments, the Year 13 team finished in 3rd place in their round, with the Year 12 and Year 11 teams losing out in the semi-finals. The Year 7 team narrowly missed qualifying for the semi-finals finishing 2nd in their section and the Year 8 team were knocked out in the semi final match. The Year 9 will play their tournament at the end of term. Tennis Clubs have been well attended this term despite the weather. Congratulations to Elizabeth Hodge and Aoife Scanlan who have been excellent Tennis leaders this term, helping out with the House League and Tennis Clubs. The Year 8 Tennis team of Sophie Taylor and Juliet Todman won the Letchworth Tennis Tournament coming up against another Hitchin Girls’ doubles pair, Libby Brodie and Katherine Morley in the finals. This team of girls have also qualified for the Nicola Mabbitt Final later on in the term.
