honoured at 26th Zonta awards
OUTSTANDING YOUNG SPORTSWOMEN: Villa Maria
College’s first XI hockey team also won the most
outstanding team of young sportswomen award after
securing their first ever national title this year. In September,
the team won the Christchurch schools’ premier league
before capturing their maiden Federation Cup title in
Auckland. The team had only one loss over the entire
season against St Margaret’s College in the premier league.
It was also the perfect farewell for six students who played
their final season for the school.
The St Andrew’s College clay target shooting team of Jacob
Warnock, Lyndon Arundell, Jimmy Field, Mason Gardener
and Laurence Arundell won the most outstanding team of
young sportsmen award. They made history recently when
they won the team points title at the New Zealand secondary
school trap shooting championships. They scored 295/300
points, which has never been achieved before.
Middleton Grange student
William Stedman took home
two Zonta sports awards.
Stedman won the award for
most outstanding achievement
by a young sportsman with a
disability. He then received
the biggest award – most
outstanding achievement by a
young sportsman specialising
in one sport. The 16-year-old became a double
Olympic medallist this year when he won bronze
in both the men’s 400m T36 and men’s 800m T36
final at the Rio Paralympics. Stedman, who has
cerebral palsy, also competed in the long jump at
Rio.
