honoured at 26th Zonta awards
OUTSTANDING YOUNG SPORTSWOMEN: Villa Maria College’s first XI hockey team also won the most outstanding team of young sportswomen award after securing their first ever national title this year. In September, the team won the Christchurch schools’ premier league before capturing their maiden Federation Cup title in Auckland. The team had only one loss over the entire season against St Margaret’s College in the premier league. It was also the perfect farewell for six students who played their final season for the school.
The St Andrew’s College clay target shooting team of Jacob Warnock, Lyndon Arundell, Jimmy Field, Mason Gardener and Laurence Arundell won the most outstanding team of young sportsmen award. They made history recently when they won the team points title at the New Zealand secondary school trap shooting championships. They scored 295/300 points, which has never been achieved before.
Middleton Grange student William Stedman took home two Zonta sports awards. Stedman won the award for most outstanding achievement by a young sportsman with a disability. He then received the biggest award – most outstanding achievement by a young sportsman specialising in one sport. The 16-year-old became a double Olympic medallist this year when he won bronze in both the men’s 400m T36 and men’s 800m T36 final at the Rio Paralympics. Stedman, who has cerebral palsy, also competed in the long jump at Rio.
