Weightlifting Success

At the final competition for the year for Southland Olympic weightlifting, Ashleigh MacDougall maintained her top form to total 98kg. Her attempt at the 60kg clean and jerk produced a personal best. Ashleigh, aged 15, is the NZ secondary schools' championships silver medallist for 2009. She is expected to gain further successes in 2010.

Basketball Success

James Humm in Year 8 was successful in his attempt to make a South Island representative age-group team to compete in Australia in January. Well done and all the best for the tournament.
