It was a very special and glorious start to the new year for the 4 sports teams from IST (International School of Tianjin) that played in various tournaments on the second weekend of January 2020, and made history of sorts.
The IST High School Boys’ & Girls’ Basketball teams AND the IST Middle School U14 Boys’ and Girls’ Volleyball teams had a very successful weekend!
The IST HS Basketball teams traveled to Beijing for the annual ISAC (International Schools Athletic Conference) Beijing-Tianjin basketball tournament. Both teams won all three of their matches to earn first place – and remain undefeated as ISAC and ISCOT champions this year. This was a great way to sail into the next weekend to play at the ACAMIS (Association of China and Mongolia International Schools) Tournament in Shekou. Thanks to coaches Mr. Barnes, Mr. Inghram and Mr. Schaff for their positive leadership.
The IST MS Volleyball teams competed at IST and TEDA Global Academy the same weekend in the annual ISCOT (International Schools Conference of Tianjin) tournament. Both teams played strong throughout competition and remain undefeated, earning first place in the tournament and overall in the season. Thanks to coaches Ms. Lily, Mr. Thorns and Mr. Machata for their positive leadership.
