Pudong vs Puxi Sporting Battles

Written by: David Watson, Athletics Director

 

Around the holidays our SISAC Basketball Squads took on YCIS Puxi over a series of matches, both home and away. Our girls’ team, led by Coach Danny and captained by Alexis Pableo from Y12 won all of their fixtures, which is a huge achievement from the girls with such a small squad. Our boys’ team predominantly made up of rookies this year battled valiantly but ultimately fell short. They showed great courage and determination under the watchful eye of Coach Yu and captain Troy Wu Year 13 from the court, with a special mention to Ethan Jin, Year 9A picking up the MVP award across the fixtures.

 

Our CISSA Teams have been busy this month with various Volleyball & Badminton fixtures. The pick of the bunch in our Junior badminton team was Alex Dong from Year 6A. Leaps and bounds above his competition, orchestrating the shuttle and manipulating his opponents around the court. Cuddy Lin, Y8B was the standout Senior Badminton player as he used his nimble footwork and solid smash shot to see off his opponents. A truly remarkable effort from our developing Year 7 CISSA Girls Volleyball Team who went on the road against an experienced Puxi side. A huge congratulations to our traveling stars Sophia Liu, Rebecca Huang, Xiaoke Liu, Xiaole Liu & Rossana Xu.

Coming up next month our YCIS Swim Squad will be involved in a Worldwide Swim Meet, competing against swimmers from all over the world. Our swimmers are relishing this opportunity to see how they compare to some of the best swimmers in their age group in the world!
