Twenty-five of our Husky swimmers travelled to Hong Kong on 19 May to represent CIS in the CNEF Stingrays Invitational Swim Meet on 20 and 22 May at Hong Kong International School.

It was a great experience for Huskies to participate in this swim meet for the first time and compete against 400 elite swimmers from 15 teams across Hong Kong, the Philippines and Singapore. This was indeed one of the toughest swim meets the Huskies have joined but this didn’t stop our swimmers swimming their best, breaking their personal best (PB) times and bringing home medals for CIS!

Congratulations to our medallists:

  • Matthew Angoh
    • Gold medal 100m Butterfly
