International judo success | Redmaids' High School
Our senior and junior school judo teams travelled up to High Wycombe last weekend to take part in British Judo’s ‘Just for Girls’ national competition, and both teams returned triumphant as overall competition runners-up – for the second year in a row!
The standard of competition was very high but our girls rose to the challenge. Competing across various weight categories, the girls demonstrated excellent skill, determination and resilience. The team consisted of Zara, Maya, Alice, Alex, Libby and Annabel from the senior school (pictured left) and Ishanvi, Phoebe, Harriet and Mabel from the junior school.
Special congratulations to the following girls who received individual medals: Zara – Gold, Maya – Gold, Alice – Silver, Alex – Bronze, Phoebe – Silver and Ishanvi – Bronze.
Despite Harriet being injured in quite a spectacular throw, she still smiled on, cheering on her team mates.
An outstanding achievement by everyone.
