Huge congratulations to the St Hilda’s Ski Race Teams on their recent success in two major competitions. After months of training and race practice, 7 members of the ski squad took part on Friday 25th April in the National Schools League Finals at Gloucester Ski Centre. All teams raced well and recorded some good times. There were also some individual successes: Reva came 2nd overall in the U8 category and Freya came 3rd, which are both incredible achievements at this level.
On Saturday the Ski Teams travelled to Ipswich to stay overnight in preparation for an early start at the ERSA Schools Championships on Sunday 27th April. St Hilda’s entered three teams, and each team finished on the podium! In Category 1, St Hilda’s A team finished in 1st place, St Hilda’s B team finished in 2nd place. In Category 0, our C team finished in 3rd place. Reva finished 5th overall and Freya achieved 2nd! All team members received medals and the A team were presented with a trophy which was fantastic.
A wonderful achievement by all skiers, showing great commitment, teamwork and courage. Support from parents and their amazing coach, Alex Reidy, are very much appreciated. Well done to everyone involved.
