INDIVIDUAL SUCCESS

Swimming Millie Sansome (Y10, T4) attended an England Talent Programme in December and has been selected for Phase 3. She is the first swimmer from Wycombe District Swimming Club that has ever made it to Phase 3, which means she will attend an England training camp and competition in Majorca in May. Millie will be competing in open water swimming, racing 1.5, 5 and 7K.

Football Hannah Dawbarn (Y9 T2), plays for Arsenal Ladies U15 Football team who recently beat their main rivals Chelsea 4-1. A great result. She was also lucky enough to meet John Terry after the match too. Hannah is off to Dallas, Texas, for a tournament at the end of the month, best of luck.

Athletics Lilli Clark-Pratt (Y8 T6) enjoyed success at a recent South of

England competition coming 4th in U15 high jump at the age of

13. Well done Lilli.

TEAM SUCCESS

Netball The Netball season has been very successful this year with

more players than ever playing the game!

117 games played

15 teams

6 age groups

171 players involved

U14 A Team

The most successful team in WHS history reached the Regional

Finals in the National Schools Championships and placed 4th

after just missing out on a semi-final place. They were also

runners up in the County and District Championships, narrowly

missing out on 1st place in both competitions. The team were

league winners in the District competition winning all 6 of their

games! A fantastic effort from the players and thanks to their

wonderful coaches, Mrs Grey and Mrs Lister.

U13 A team

Having won both the Districts and League last year, the team

narrowly came runners up in the District Championships on a

goal difference of just 2! They are, however, league winners in

the District winning all 7 of their league games. Well done!

Ultimate Frisbee After 2 selection weekends 5 of our players have qualified for

the GB under 20 Ultimate Frisbee Team and one for the U17

Team! Congratulations to Emilia Gaca Y13 B9, Ciara Bignel

Y13 A1, Freya Elliot Y12 P6, Tabi Caroe Y13 B5, Katie Parry

international tournament

Squash

Congratulations to the U15 and U19 Squash Teams who

finished 4th and 8th respectively in the National Schools Finals
