Last weekend became the second “Super Saturday” of sports for the month of October as more than seventy-five Dragon athletes aged 6 to 17 years old were in action across multiple sports, with action on the soccer field and in the pool.
Saturday morning started very early for our swim team as they headed out in the early hours of the morning to AISG in Guangzhou for the Guangdong Swim invitational. Our swim team had an exceptional day in the pool, as one of the smallest teams they placed fifth overall which was a remarkable exception, bringing home 36 ribbons and 16 first place finishes across an array of different events. A combined team of thirteen athletes from middle school and high school had a successful day, with James Liu, setting four pool record in the process, our boys relay team taking first, and some of our younger swimmers making debut performances a highlight. A big thanks to Coaches Sharyn Abbes and Coach Amare McPherson for their successful start to the campaign.
上周末是十月的第二个 “超级星期六”，超过75 名 6 至 17 岁的龙运动员们参加了多个项目的比赛，包括足球和游泳等。
周六一早，我们的游泳队就出发前往广州的AISG参加广东游泳邀请赛。我们的游泳队在泳池中度过了非凡的一天，作为规模最小的队伍之一，他们获得了总成绩第五名的优异成绩，并在一系列不同项目中获得了36 条彩带和 16 个第一名。由初中和高中 13 名运动员组成的联合队伍在当天的比赛中取得了成功，其中James Liu在比赛中创造了四项泳池记录，而男子接力队也获得了第一名，我们的一些年纪小的游泳运动员的首次亮相也是一大亮点。非常感谢Sharyn Abbes 教练和 Amare McPherson 教练，他们带来了一个成功开局。
MS Soccer Updates初中足球体育新闻
As one sport begins, another is reaching its conclusion, as is the case for our middle school soccer teams as they head into the conclusion of their season. Our boys and girls travelled to BSG in Guangzhou for the PRC blue division finals. Our girls, winning their game on penalties, couldn’t replicate it a second time in the bronze medal match, coming a commendable fourth place. However, it was the QSI boys team, fueled by a turbulent start to the season that sought to end things their way, and that they did.
In exceptional fashion, they dismantled ISNS 4-0 in their opening game, before steamrolling their way into the final by also beating ISD by a similar margin 3-0. Confidence has proved key for these boys this season, in one which can only be described as a journey of growth, and in the final the boys became men. After leading for much of the game and with four minutes on the clock, CIS struck an equalizer to send the game to penalties. CIS stepped up, and Paddy Murphy saved down to his right-hand side, before Ethan Chen made it advantage QSI with a cool converted penalty. Paddy Murphy repeated his heroics, saving the second, before Dave Kim, stepped up to the spot. Pressure, what pressure? Dave drove the ball home sending the coaches and team into scenes of jubilation, as QSI boys brought home the championship trophy.
随着游泳比赛的开始，另一项运动要接近尾声了，我们的初中足球队即将结束他们的赛季。我们的男队和女队前往广州BSG 参加PRC联赛蓝组的决赛。我们的女队在点球大战中赢得了首场胜利，但在随后打的铜牌争夺战中未能再创佳绩，最终获得了第四名的好成绩。而QSI男队在本赛季动荡的开局中奋起直追，迎来了一个非常好的结尾。
他们在揭幕战中以4-0 的比分击败了ISNS 队，随后又以 3-0的比分击败了 ISD队，顺利进入决赛。本赛季，自信是这些孩子们的关键，他们慢慢成长，最终迎来胜利果实。在比赛的大部分时间里，我们一直处于领先地位，在比赛还有四分钟结束时，CIS将比分扳平，将比赛拖入点球大战。CIS队开始点球，Paddy在他的右侧扑救成功，随后Ethan冷静地将点球罚进，为QSI队取得优势。Paddy再次神勇扑出第二个点球，随后Dave 站到了点球点前。压力，什么压力？Dave 将球送入球门，教练和队员们欢呼雀跃，QSI 的小伙子们将冠军奖杯捧回了家。
The weekend action didn’t stop on the road. Locally at SIS Bay campus, it was a first run out of the year for the QSI Young Dragons. 36 students aged 6 to 10 years old, who have been training hard in the YD academy program took to the field to face off against ISNS and SIS youth academies. This day was all about participation and growth, and a chance for our younger athletes to feel a real game situation, and as such no results were record, with the only goal that counted being that of a memorable day, and that it was, leaving students and parents already eager for the next edition of tournament football next month.
周末的体育比赛还有更多。在SIS比赛场，QSI小龙队迎来了今年的首次出征。36 名 6 至 10 岁的学生在小龙足球学院项目中接受了刻苦的训练，他们在球场上与ISNS 和 SIS 的青少年队进行了对抗。这一天的比赛重在参与和成长，让我们的年轻运动员有机会感受真实的比赛环境，因此没有记录成绩。唯一重要的目标是度过难忘的一天，而这一天也确实让学生和家长们对下个月的足球锦标赛充满期待。
