On Saturday, our J14 rowers raced at Dorney Lake against Surbiton High School, Lady Eleanor Holles School and St George’s College. They competed in two 1500m long races and WHS came away with some amazing results!
Most notably, all our Wimbledon rowers came away with a medal, which is wonderful! One of our quads was also the fastest boat of the day, even beating all the Octo’s times. This is an amazing achievement.
We are so pleased to share the experience of Imi during her England Hockey trials, please see her report below:
My process started over the summer when I was selected for the Talent Academy festival in Nottingham, representing Wimbledon Hockey Club. This was a four-day tournament where we played other Talent Academies around the country and from there, I was selected for an England trial.
In September 2024 I had my first trial which was a two-day camp which included hockey, strength and conditioning sessions, running tests and a talk from Lucy Wood (former England and GB player).
I am pleased to confirm that our cross-country teams have delivered outstanding performances at several key events throughout the year.
At the Merton Event, we had 33 students participating, with impressive results including:
WHS Equestrian team had a busy summer this year representing the school at various key events.
We are pleased to report that both Eleanor W and Inez S qualified for the NSEA National Showjumping Championships at Hickstead, which took place on August 21st. Unfortunately, Inez had to withdraw from the competition owing to an unsound pony, however Eleanor was able to compete in the 50cm final on her pony, Warnois Panache, riding brilliantly to secure a clear round. This event was optimum time rather than fastest and Eleanor came 36th out of a final field of 146 entries which is a fantastic result.
We are so delighted to confirm that three of our students competed in the GB trials this weekend, a first for WHS Boat Club!
Great racing from Mia P, Iris F and Imogen L for their first early ID trials. Go Wimbledon!!
We are extremely proud of your progress, well done from all of us here at WHS.
