NZCT Aims Games 2013

NZCT Aims Games 2013

Last week was the NZCT Aims Games.
The Aims Games is a sporting competition organised by Sport Bay Of Plenty.
166 Schools from around New Zealand (2 from Australia, 1 from Rarotonga)
come to compete in the sport that they have been chosen to compete in.

I went to watch some of the sports such as:
- Hockey
- Cross Country
- Soccer
- Basketball
- Netball
- Swimming

At hockey I watched our T.I.S team. They were playing John Paul College.
It was so intense. At half time it was 0-0 then at the last 2 minutes of the whole game our team scored 2 goals!!! The score ended up being 2-0 to us. We won.

At Cross Country I was also supporting T.I.S and also A.N.I because my cousin was in the team. Everyone did so well! We were all proud of everyone with their placings. I really enjoyed watching. Our T.I.S team ended up coming 1st overall (second in the relay. We had a third for Yr 8 boys, a first for Yr 7 boys.)

At soccer I was going to watch my cousin from A.N.I. Their team did very well. They won their first game 6-0 and then their second game was taken to penalty shoot outs which unforlunatly the other team won, but it was a close score of
3-2.

At Basketball I went to watch our T.I.S boys playing A.N.I and they lost, I can't remember the score but it was something big. Then I went and watched the T.I.S girls playing off for 3rd and 4th. They sadly lost by 1 point the score I think was 31-32. There was a few injurys and tears but everyone did an amazing job.

At Netball I watched our T.I.S invatation team. I can't remember who they were playing. But I think they lost. They have a very strong team. They both scored goals but I don't know what the score was because I went to go watch the hockey game.

On Tuesday after school I went to swimming to support my T.I.S friend Marijke. She was doing so well! Untill it came to her 50m freestyle because sshe dived too early and got disqualified, but if she hadn't been disqualified she would have came second with a Silver medal. She ended up getting a medal in the either 100m backstroke or 200m backstroke, I can't remember. But she did an amazing job and she is an amazing swimming.

At Aims Games 2013 I had an amazing time watching all of the sports. Our school (T.I.S) cam first overall. We have won it everytime. The NZCT Aims Games are held every year and each year they seem to be getting bigger!

Cool Fact: The NZCT Aims Games are half the size of the Olympics.
