(Miss Salen) BASKETBALL FESTIVAL – YEARS 7 & 8 Eighteen keen SWGS basketball players took part in the inaugural Years 7 & 8 Salisbury District Council Basketball Festival on Wednesday 5 May, at the Five Rivers Leisure Centre. South Wilts entered an ‘A’ and a ‘B’ team from girls, particularly from 8B, who have played regularly in the Wiltshire Central Venue Basketball League at Tidworth Leisure Centre since the Autumn term. Both teams acquitted themselves very well especially against St Edmund’s, who played their England player Jess Brookfield for the whole game against our ‘A’ team, and subbed her on in the final 10 minutes against our ‘Bs’ to secure a win for St Edmund’s. Games against Fisherton Manor were also very competitive. Final Results were: South Wilts A – 2 nd , South Wilts B – 4 th . Team members SWGS A: Michelle Todd 8A, Kelly Blaxall, Storm Kirkham, Georgina Raven, Emma Poynting, Olivia Severn, Katie Glover and Catherine Palmer from 8B.

We wish them Good luck for their possible selection into the Salisbury team. (Mrs Godber) SWIMMING GALA – 2004 Last year South Wilts walked away from the Salisbury Stingrays Schools Freestyle Gala with the Years 7 & 8, and Year 9+ trophies. This year twenty four girls signed up to swim and duly turned up at Five Rivers Leisure Centre on Tuesday, 18th May. Record entries in the Primary School section forced a late start to the Secondary School event, but the South Wilts A and B teams were unperturbed and settled in to win all their heats and ‘friendly’ events. The Year 7 & 8 ‘C’ team swam well and made it through to the second round. Overall our girls were too strong and too fast even for the polished St Edmund’s teams. Final Results were: Years 7/8 A – 1 st Years 7/8 B – 4 th Years 7/8 C – 7 th Year 9+ A – 2nd Year 9+ B – 1 st Team members Years 7/8 A: Samantha Crosby, Emma Christie, Sarah Butterfield and Katy Neale Years 7/8 B: Jemma Mouland, Sarah Mills, Hannah Carter and Mamie Attwell-Thomas Years7/8 C: Natasha Fiddy, Gemma Young, Hannah Shearer, Emily Nash, Lorna Clarke and Lydia Sargeant Year 9+ A: Laura Atkinson, Charlotte Crosby, Sarah Curtis, Stephie Millin and Ellen Heathcote 6
ONWARDS! SPORTING ACHIEVMENTS - SUMMER TERM Continued..... ATHLETICS – AREA SCHOOLS As soon as the Summer term began South Wilts students began practising their athletic events not only during lesson time but also at break and lunch times. Poor weather early in the term delayed the Area Sport trials but eventually teams were selected and competition began. Under 17 – Tuesday 18th May The first major event was the Under 18 Area Sports held at the Salisbury Athletic track on Tuesday 18th May. This twilight meet attracted a good turnout as the late afternoon was fine and warm. South Wilts acquitted themselves well with outstanding performances from Sarah Greenaway (100m, 200m, Relay), Rachel Artiss (hurdles, high jump) and Charlotte Vie (hurdles, relay) in particular. South Wilts Year 10+ snaffled the Under 17 Area Sports Championship trophy by a narrow margin of 3 points, against old rivals St Edmund’s who have dominated this event for the past 6 years. Under 15 – Tuesday 25th May In the Under 15 event Alice Judd 9B captained her team with efficient confidence. SWGS lined up against St Edmund’s, Upper Avon, La Retraite, Godolphin, Stonehenge, Downton, Westwood St Thomas, Fisherton Manor, Wilton, St Joseph’s and Cathedral School at the 73 rd Senior Championships. Noteworthy performances were recorded by Nadine Rowe 9N (200m, 800m, relay), Megan Hollinghurst 8A (100m, long jump, relay), Alice Foster 9E (200m, shot put, relay) and Alice Butt 9N (2 nd 1500m). The Under 15 team placed second to St Edmund’s . Other team members – Hester Ruddle 8E, Abigail Burns 8B, Emma Sibbald 8N, Rachel Buckingham 8B, Flora Harley 8N, Frances Astbury 9B, Samantha Crosby 8N, Michelle Todd 8A, Christina Hancock 9B, Blanche Lumb 9B, Jenny Buckingham 9A and Emily Taylor 8N. Under 13 – Tuesday 25th May Our Year 7 team flew home outright winners in the Under 13 category. Hannah Smith 7N, Hannah Bellingham 7A, Rosie Peters 7N, Mamie Attwell-Thomas 7A and Naomi Goddard 7A were unstoppable in their respective events. The Year 7’s walked away with the trophy with a comfortable 30 point margin over Upper Avon, and Naomi Goddard was named ‘Individual Athlete’ of the day. A superb effort Year 7 athletes! Other team members – Tamara Giles 7B, Sarah Mills 7A, Keri McNamara 7B, Hannah Carter 7A, Emma Redgrave 7N, Jennifer Rushworth 7A, Rose Adams 7B and Emma Keegan 7A. The following girls have been selected to represent Salisbury at the WILTSHIRE 72 nd ANNUAL CHAMPIONSHIPS to be held at the Salisbury Athletics Track on Saturday, 12 June 2004: ENGLISH SCHOOLS TRACK & FIELD CUP On Thursday, 20th May SWGS entered a Junior girls and an Intermediate girls team in the English Schools National Cup Championships. This event was held on our school athletics track with schools travelling from all over the South West to compete. Once again our girls proved to be too strong and too fast. In the Intermediate section SWGS placed 3 rd to John of Gaunt and Dauntsey’s, but in the Year 7 & 8 championships South Wilts placed first (263), Clarendon (226) and John of Gaunt (217). This event is particularly enjoyable as competitors are required to compete out of their specialised events, with field athletes helping out in the relay and sprinters trying their hand at shot put. This excellent achievement shows how versatile our junior athletes are. A special THANK YOU to Mrs MacTaggart for her invaluable help with the team trials and selections, and to Miss Salen and Miss Copley for their help as Team Managers during the events. (Mrs Godber) 7
