Fencing coach Kyle Macdonald with MAGS’ three Mixed Epee teams which won Gold, Silver and Bronze at the NZSS Championships in Wellington.
More than 200 students in 15 teams across 10 codes represented Mount Albert Grammar School at events throughout the North Island during the 2017 Winter Tournament Week from September 4-10.
Highlights from the results were a clean sweep of medals for our mixed Fencing teams, winning Gold, Silver and Bronze at NZSS. In Trampolining, Year 10 student James Dougal won Gold in the Junior Boys Elite division and was selected to represent New Zealand at the World Championships in Bulgaria in November. Jack Jones won Bronze in the same category (both pictured left).
Our Girls’ Football team made the NZ final for the 5th year in a row, having won the previous four, and this year narrowly lost to St Kentigern in a penalty shoot-out after drawing 4-4. Our Netball team also narrowly lost their North Island final 38-39 to the same school.
