Best Ever Result at Nationals for Waterpolo Team

Congratulations to the HBHS Senior A Waterpolo team who finished 5th at the New Zealand Secondary Schools Waterpolo National Championships held in Wellington during the April holiday break. This is the best ever result, not only for HBHS, but for any Waikato school team in the history of the competition. The team would like to thank Head Coach, Mr Geoff Wheeler, who was very much the driving force behind this unprecedented performance. Under Geoff's guidance, the team travelled to Australia in order to prepare for this tournament, and for the North Island Secondary Schools Championships held in March, where the team finished 8th. As a result of these fine performances, Sam Franicevic and Callum Maxwell are trialling for the New Zealand Under 19 Squad, Richard Sneddon has been selected for the New Zealand Under 15 Team, and Tristan Houghton for the New Zealand Under 17 Team. Congratulations again to these boys, to the team, and congratulations and thanks to Mrs Jan Missen for her continued support of HBHS Waterpolo.
