After a successful trip up to Norwich, the Ski Squad were excited to head down to our home slope, Aldershot, to race at Surrey Schools. The Prep School had a successful morning, winning the Upper Primary and overall Primary Mixed categories, making them the best Mixed Primary team in the region. A special shout out to Emily L, who was the third fastest primary female there.
After the successes of the Prep schools in the morning, the senior races were excited to race. All the Surbiton skiers had an amazing performance showing great sportsmanship and teamwork. Supporting each other outstandingly both on and off the hill, with Surbiton, again, being the loudest cheering crowd.
With all racers rising to the occasion, the junior female racers (Year 7 to 9) performed incredibly well, with the A team coming 1st and the B team coming 3rd. As well as 5 of the Surbiton Skier’s finishing in the top 10. Well done to the Year 9 Scholars Isabella W, who came 2nd, and Sophie J, who came 3rd. The female seniors had some amazing runs with the A team coming 1st and winning fastest female team.
Well done to the 5 Surbiton skiers finishing in the top 10, with Saskia S coming 2nd and Immy M coming 3rd.The team stepped up this weekend and performed exceptionally well, with both categories being won by Surbiton and therefore the team becoming regional champions! A massive congratulations to the whole performance squad for this incredible success, showing off all the hard work that every member of the team has put in. A massive thank you to Miss Slater, Mr Greenwood, and Matt for all their support and hard work, we could not have done it without them!
