Northbridge Nagas swim team win medal haul at ISPP Swimvitational 2018

26 November 2018

On Saturday 17 November, the Northbridge International School Cambodia Nagas Swim Team participated in their first international swim meet of the season hosted at ISPP. This swim meet was very challenging with 12 schools from Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia and about 293 swimmers. Our swimmers spent the whole day swimming up to nine events including the relays in a 11 hour session which combined both short and long course swims.

All swimmers gave 100 percent improving most of their personal bests, and staying positive regardless of how tired they were after all those races.

As coaches, Ms Abbey, Ms Lucy and Mr Alirio feel extremely proud of all the accomplishments, and it is an honor for us to coach such an amazing group of athletes.

Our Nagas walked out of the pool with an incredible total of 35 medals (5 gold, 20 silver and 10 bronze). The biggest highlights were:

Kaeun Hwang coming 3rd place overall in the 8 and under age group
Natasia Escubil coming 2nd place overall in the 15 and over age group
15 & over mixed medley relay - 1st place (Natasia Escubil, Adi Kadyrbek, Sovann Montross, Oh Kyoung Park)
