We have another fantastic crew of athletes this week including two record-setting swimmers.
Rachel Taylor - Senior Volleyball
The senior volleyball team is playing great and Rachel has been a huge part of this. Her coaches say, "Rachel has shown a consistent willingness to take feedback and attempts to implement it into our practices and games. She shows up with a positive attitude - ready to work and encourage her teammates".
Ryan Yacoub - Senior Soccer
Ryan Yacoub had a fantastic week. Collingwood won both its games in a shootout and Ryan has made a name for himself for his ability to make big saves at the most important moments. Ryan played a remarkable game against STA to keep his team in the fight and ultimately led them to a huge victory against their arch rivals.
Nadine Brenninkmeyer - Senior Field Hockey
Nadine has been playing terrific hockey this year. She is often the key player in offensive forays as she takes the ball in the mid-field and attacks before releasing the ball to open teammates. Nadine always brings energy and passion to every game and is a fantastic teammate.
Cici Sun - Senior Swim Team
Cici had an amazing ISA swim meet. She set a new ISA record in the 50m Backstroke and also won the 50m Butterfly and the 100m IM.
Tristan Govier - Senior Swim Team
Tristan also had a fantastic ISA meet. He smashed the old ISA record in the 50m Backstroke and won the 50m Butterfly. Tristan then helped our relay teams to a 2nd and 5th place finish.
Emma Wang - Grade 10 Volleyball
Emma is a dedicated player and has been at every single practice this season. She is a co-captain of the team. Although Emma is a setter, she is also one of the top hitters and servers. Emma has enabled the team to win many games through her excellent leadership, strong skills, and hard work on the court.
Zara Pejman - Junior Field Hockey
Zara Pejman has been the anchor of the junior field hockey team impressing everyone with her composure and consistency. A top notch defender, she has honed her skills in the role of sweeper, and was particularly effective in Monday’s draw against Argyle.
Nico Bosa - Grade 9 Rugby
Nico scored three tries last week against St. George's. Nico's terrific play is one of the reasons that the Grade 9 team is undefeated this year. He is hard-working, dedicated and relentless, which makes him a perfect teammate.
Saoirse Lawlor - Grade 9 Volleyball
Saoirse has demonstrated a willingness to try all positions and shown big improvements in skill and awareness on the court. Her serve is a powerful weapon for the Grade 9 team and she also proving to be deadly when she is in the frontcourt.
Sam Layden - Grade 8 Rugby
Sam has played a pivotal role in the Grade 8 Rugby Boys’ success so far this season. His natural skill set and physical presence has paired well with his keenness and athleticism. Sam unselfishly helped secure a recent 31-7 win over Sutherland School and equally great in victories over Handsworth and Shawnigan Lake School.
Zoe Couture - Grade 8 Volleyball
Zoe continues to impress on court with her skillful setting and tenacity. She is wholeheartedly committed to her team and is an inspirational leader on and off court.
