Feeding Frenzy by Katie Henderson (Y6.6)
SEASAC Cross Country The TTS Under 19 Cross Country squad achieved excellent results at the SEASAC Championships at Alice Smith School in Kuala Lumpur.
Finally the morning of Thursday, 11 December arrived! At 11.45am I made my way down to the Senior car park to get the coach to Changi Airport. After a loud but exciting coach ride, and a bit of a bumpy flight, we arrived in Bangkok and went straight to the Dusit Princess Hotel. One of my highlights was the team building games. Of course my main highlight was the actual swimming. I went to Feeding Frenzy in Year 4, Year 5 and now Year 6 and each year they have been different but fun. Day 1 was long distance swimming and Day 2 was more serious swimming. Day 3 was more fun because it was short distance events and the relays. We all wore red Merlion shirts and Santa hats; we all looked really cool! These were the main highlights for me at Feeding Frenzy 2014.
Matt Rossiter won Gold in the Boys race, Ollie Reeves was just off a podium place in 4th position and a strong showing from the rest of the team produced a team Bronze medal. Jaz Heber Percy led the Girls team home in 7th in what was a very competitive field. Strong backing from the rest of the team meant that the Girls team achieved 4th place in the team event. The Girls Relay team achieved 4th place with great performances by Simone Pang, Holly Craig and Millie Grosvenor in their final SEASAC Cross Country event. The Boys added another Gold to their individual championship by also taking home the relay Gold. An excellent set of results which was a just reward for the early morning training sessions and hot afternoon hill repeats.
Phuket Football Tanglin Footballers had great success at Phuket Football this term. 36 schools and 118 teams participated in the tournament, which was hosted by the British International School, Phuket. Each and every Tanglin player demonstrated great skill, determination and courage and despite the rain and mud they showed great sportsmanship and humour throughout the whole event. We were very proud of all of our players for their outstanding performances. Tanglin U13 Girls, U13 Boys and U11 Boys all took home Gold, whilst our U11 Girls took Bronze. Congratulations to all the players and coaches! SEASAC Golf This year’s SEASAC Golf tournament was hosted by Tanglin at Bintan Lagoon Resort. This two-day tournament saw some outstanding golf with the overall Boys and Girls winners both coming from Ruamrudee International School of Thailand. Tanglin’s students played some high standard golf with Georgia Smith Coates from Year 13 coming 3rd in the Girls Handicap competition.
