WESTERN NEWS Tuesday December 20 2016 13 SCHOOLS Funding for Rio ‘baby’ WARM WELCOME: A fence in Halswell was decorated by Halswell School pupils last weekend. Election hoardings put to good use OLD CAMPAIGN boards from the local elections have been put to good use, giving people a warm welcome as they drive into Halswell. A plain site at the corner of Halswell Rd and Sparks Rd had a makeover last weekend with pupils from Halswell School decorating a fence. The campaign boards were donated by Halswell-Hornby- Riccarton Community Board chairman Mike Mora, community board member Debbie Mora and councillor Jimmy Chen. The Halswell Residents’ Association and year 8 student Amelia Ledingham also helped to organise the project to beautify the section. Ms Mora said it was great the project was given to a student and she grabbed the opportunity. “She did an incredible job to collate all these art students together to do this product,” she said. Ms Mora said the community will look at doing more projects like this around Halswell. “It is just really admirable to look at it when you are sitting at the traffic lights,” she said. Resene Paints pitched in donating paint and lollies for the project. HIGH PERFORMANCE Sport New Zealand has committed to a two-year investment in Halswell gymnast Courtney McGregor. The 18-year-old was the baby of the Olympic team in Rio, where she finished 13th in her specialty apparatus of vault. “As far as we are aware, Courtney is the first artistic gymnast to be funded by HPSNZ. This is a great achievement for both Courtney and for the sport of gymnastics in New Zealand,” said GymSports NZ chief executive Tony Compier. HPSNZ is hoping to see Mc- Gregor grow on her performance at Rio, with an eye toward the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. McGregor is now a student athlete in the United States at Boise State University and is on a four-year scholarship under head coaches Tina Bird and Neil Resnick. The two led the college team to a record 15-meet unbeaten regular season last year. “I’m learning so much here at Boise and to know that my hard work and goals are being recognised and supported from home is fantastic. It also helps to justify all the time and money that my parents have invested in my gymnastics over the years to get me here. I’m stoked,” said McGregor. She is at her family home in Halswell for Christmas and will return to Boise in the new year. •More sport, p15 SPORTS FUTURE INVESTMENT: Courtney McGregor’s 13th place finish in the vault at the Rio Olympics has resulted in High Performance Sport New Zealand investing in the gymnast for the next two years.
