New Hall girls win the Mid-Essex Swimming League
21st Jun 2008
New Hall girls rounded off an excellent year for swimming as they were crowned winners of the Year 7 Mid-Essex swimming league.
The league, which has run since September, has seen New Hall compete in galas against Brentwood School, Chelmsford County High School, St Martin’s School, The Boswells School, Great Baddow High School, Moulsham School, Shenfield High School and The William De Ferrers School. Overall, New Hall remained unbeaten as a team, for the whole year.
The girls swimming results for each individual year for 2007-2008 have been finalised and are as follows:
Year 7: 1st, Year 8: 4th, Year 9: 6th, Year 10/11: 2nd.
Year 7 have done especially well this year, becoming the Eastern Regional Champions and winning the Mid-Essex league by six clear points. Team members include Darcie Imbert (Captain), Ellie Dhanjal, Georgia Ellis, Elizabeth Hatch, Annabel Hockley, Courtenay Mee, Gabriella Oxlade and Helen Winterbone.
The Year 10 team have also had an excellent year. The team achieved first place in the Mid-Essex relay competition back in January. In the league, the Year 10 team achieved joint first place with Chelmsford County High School. However, as it was a draw, total points were used to decide first place. This left New Hall in second place. Team members include: Halina Fisher (Captain), Charlotte Fawdry, Harriet Fenton, Gemma Girvan, Heather Porter, Katie Roberts, Annabel Schwier, and Lenan Zhang.
The Year 8 and 9 teams have performed very well this year and have been up against particularly tough competition. Congratulations to Evangelina Fisher, Year 8, who has won every race in which she has competed. The relay teams have also been outstanding throughout the year. The team spirit and determination from all team members has been impressive this year. The future looks very promising for New Hall swimming.
