State Interschools Snowsports Championships
A huge congratulations to the 35 students who competed in the State Interschools Snowsports Championships at Perisher last week, where the finest Snowsports talent from across NSW gathered. Over five days, our Pymble students demonstrated outstanding commitment, dedication, and teamwork, making Pymble a formidable presence.
In the Junior School, our students shone with eight team podium finishes. Special recognition goes to Eno Lin (Year 2), Michelle Zhang (Year 2), and Makayla Cui (Year 2), who swept the podium by finishing first, second, and third, respectively, in the same Ski Cross competition. Additionally, Evelyn Zhu (Year 3) secured third place in Ski Cross, while Makayla Cui (Year 2) took third in Snowboard Cross. Anna Smart (Year 6) claimed second in the Laser Biathlon event. Thanks to these remarkable performances, our girls were crowned Primary Female Overall Champion School for the third consecutive year!
In the Secondary School, despite challenging conditions, our girls delivered impressive results. The secondary campaign started strong, with the Division 1 Moguls Team (Alessandra Braysich (Year 12) and Olivia Clifford (Year 12)) earning a third-place team finish. Individually, Hilary Eyers (Year 7) took second in Moguls, and Aurora Zhang (Year 8) secured second place in the Laser Biathlon event.
As a result of these fantastic achievements, 26 of our 35 competitors will be advancing to the National Championships next week. We wish all the best to our students and their families as they head back to Perisher, and we look forward to another exciting week of competition! See below for full results from State:
