A busy end to the year for the St Peter’s School Cambridge head girl. First she led her school to its defence of the NZSS Secondary Schools National title and followed that with a Secondary Schools Netball National Championship the following week. That all came after a hectic three-week schedule which saw Leger-Walker rush back from the Tall Ferns Asia Cup campaign, held in India in late September. Most recently, she was in the Tall Ferns squad for their Olympic Qualifying series in Auckland. In February she attended the Basketball Without Borders (BWB) Global Camp in the USA. Then it was off to Europe where St Peter’s School came fifth at the ISF World Schools Championship at Crete. Leger-Walker was named to the Tournament All-Star Team. Next stop was another World event and again Leger-Walker was selected in the Tournament Team. New Zealand won silver at the FIBA 3x3 U18 World Cup in Mongolia. Come July it was Tall Ferns duty next for Leger-Walker as the New Zealand team headed to Japan for a pair of internationals followed by the William Jones Cup in Taiwan.
 
Patricia Maliepo (Southern Cross Campus)

Maliepo played a full season for the Storm in her debut season, scoring 78 points in eight matches. The 16-year-old quickly found her feet at this level with a series of strong, mature performances. Also played a full season for her Marist club side that won the Auckland club title. Won the Most Promising Player award at the Auckland Rugby awards in October. Special mention to two players who played in the Top 4 tournament in September.

Both players are returning to school in 2020.
 
Sammie Maxwell (Tauhara College)
A strong contingent of schoolgirls are excelling on two wheels - on the road, the track and off road. For this list, we have chosen Sammie Maxwell, who, as a role model for her community, was recently named the Taupo Sportswomen of the Year for 2019. The head girl of her school and the recently confirmed DUX of her school - could be excused for not being in class much this year.

The College Sport Wellington Sportsman of the year is New Zealand's fastest teenager, and the third fastest Kiwi sprinter of all time. Osei-Nketia highlighted his incredible potential as an athlete by storming home to win the senior men's 100m final at the Australian Athletics Championships in April. Osei-Nketia set a new personal best of 10.19 seconds in the semifinals - just 0.08 off his father's record - before returning to the Sydney Olympic Park Athletic Centre to win the final in 10.22 seconds (wind-adjusted from 10.24sec).

​The Champion of Champion series is not intended to be a definitive list of the ‘best’ athletes in each code, rather it celebrates a selection of the leading athletes and teams in each that College Sport Media has followed this year.

Celebrating some of the girls sports teams that have done well this year. Here are eight below. 

Baradene College of the Sacred Heart First XI Football
https://www.collegesportmedia.co.nz/football/back-to-back-nzss-football-titles-for-baradene
Last year they were first time national champions, this year they successfully defended their title, at the annual Lotto Premier Tournament in Christchurch. There were eight players at nationals for the first time in this team, including five year nine and 10 players. Baradene put their win down to handling pressure and working well as a team. Baradene beat Auckland rivals Epsom Girls’ Grammar School on penalties in their semi-final and then beat Hamilton’s Hillcrest High School 2-0 in the final. Co-captains Hannah Pilley and Margaret Wood, while Prue Catton scored eight goals.
​
Hamilton Girls’ High School First XV Rugby
https://www.facebook.com/pg/NZSchoolgirlsrugby/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1623668387768594
The most dominant team at this year’s Top 4 tournament, Hamilton Girls’ High School defended their Hine Pounamu Trophy title with two emphatic wins over well-prepared and strong opposition. Hamilton GHS defeated Manukura 50-7 on day one. In the final they beat Christchurch Girls’ High School 58-7, 10 tries to one, racing to an early three-try lead. Lock Veisinia Fakalelu was a standout in the final with a top game and three tries to her name, while first five-eighth Kiriana Nolan controlled the attack. Nolan later made her Women’s NPC debut for Waikato.
​
Rangiora High School Futsal
https://www.collegesportmedia.co.nz/football/rangiora-high-school-and-st-kents-win-nzss-girls-futsal-titles
Won an extremely hard-fought NZSS Senior Girls Futsal tournament in Wellington in March. Rangiora HS edged Hamilton’s Hillcrest High School 3-2 in a thriller in the final. Rangiora were deserved champions of the senior girls tournament, but not without playing three tough games on day two and amid drama in the closing stages of the final that almost went to a penalty shootout. Rangiora had led 2-0 at halftime in the senior final, through goals to Abbey Neilson and Madi Silcock and then protected a 2-1 lead following a goal to Hillcrest’s Chloe Henderson right up to the final two minutes of play. Henderson scored again to lock it up, but Rangiora through Madi Silcock found the back of the net one last time. Rangiora had defeated Wellington Girls’ College 5-1 in their quarter-final, in a closer match that the score suggested and then defeated Auckland’s Baradene College 7-3 in their semi-final.  Rangiora’s captain Macey Fraser won both the golden boot award for scoring the most goals and the tournament MVP.
 
St Peter’s School Netball
https://www.collegesportmedia.co.nz/netball/team-culture-key-to-st-peters-netballs-nzss-tournament-success
For the second time in three years, the first time participants were also the first time NZSS netball tournament champions. St Peter’s School, Cambridge, joined 2017 winners Howick College in winning their maiden title in their first attempt in the tournament in Nelson in October. St Peter’s went through the tournament unbeaten, beating 2016 winners Saint Kentigern College 35-31 in the final. Prior to the decider, St Peter’s had beaten Howick (41-25), Epsom Girls’ Grammar School (49-38)and Manukura (37-25) in knockout matches. The first Waikato school to win the title since 2003.

https://www.facebook.com/pg/collegesportmedia/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1186748921513304
Won their third Federation Cup NZSS hockey tournament since 2012 with a tense 1-0 win in the final over Christchurch Girls’ High School after scoring 40 goals in six wins en route to the decider. This included an 8-0 quarter-final win over St Andrew’s College and a 3-0 semi-final win over Auckland Diocesan School for Girls. Previously they beat Dio 5-1 in the final of the Auckland Supercity competition. The team provided three of the leading goal scorers at the Federation Cup tournament, with Breana Catley scoring 11 goals, Katie Doar nine and Sophie Hildesley eight.

https://www.facebook.com/pg/collegesportmedia/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1078551932333004
Westlake Girls' High School defended their NZSS Division 1 Girls volleyball crown in Palmerston North in late March, beating Otumoetai College 3-1 in the final, after beating Aorere College 3-1 in their quarterfinal and Trident High School 3-0 in their semi-final.

Whangarei Girls’ High School Squash
https://www.collegesportmedia.co.nz/other/maiden-nzss-squash-title-for-whangarei-girls-high-school
Whangarei Girls’ High School won their maiden NZSS Squash Championships title in Tauranga in August. Whangarei GHS were top seeds heading into the tournament, but they had to be at their best to see off the other leading schools, who included recent champions Palmerston North Girls’ High School (third), Havelock North High School and Westlake Girls’ High School. Whangarei GHS beat Westlake Girls’ High School in their semi-final tie on Saturday and returned on Sunday to defeat Havelock North Girls’ High School in the final.

Preference has gone to those individuals/teams that CSM has interviewed and profiled in 2019. Got a story? Email [email protected]

What if we had a Halberg award for the best College sports team during the year. Who would win? Normally in school sport it is relatively easy to find the top team within a code, but can you pick who has achieved more, when comparing codes?
 
Christchurch Boys’ High School Rowing Eight - Christchurch have been leading contenders to win the eight at the Maadi Cup for several years, but until April 2019 a win had remained elusive. It was the intention of the Christchurch crew to lead from the outset, but they slipped behind a determined Christ’s College. However Christchurch rallied and scored an inspiring victory. The full crew was:  Scott Shackleton, Tom Fraser, Cameron Long, Ethan Alderlieste, Cameron Henderson, Angus Templeton, James Glover, Ben Brown and Tim Heritage. In addition to the Maadi Cup, Christchurch rowers won an additional seven gold medals at the regatta. Won the Most outstanding team award at the Canterbury school sports Zonta Awards recently.
 
Hastings Boys' High School First XV Rugby - For the second time in three years, Hastings won the National Top Four championship when they defeated King's College, Auckland 27-14 in the final. Unlike 2017 (when Hastings was unbeaten) the 2019 class did it the hard way. After six consecutive wins in the Super 8, Hastings was beaten in consecutive weekends by Hamilton Boys' High School to finish second. Hastings recovered to thrash St Patrick’s College, Silverstream (37-10) and Palmerston North Boys' High School (45-15) to capture the Hurricanes Regional title and set up a rematch with Hamilton at Nationals. Remarkably Hamilton stumbled at this stage of the season for a second year in a row by a point, propelling Hastings into their third National final in four years. In wet, cold and windy conditions, Hastings led from start to finnish in clinically defeating the Blues Regional champions. Hastings overall record in 2019 was 18-3, but remarkably they didn’t have a single selection in the New Zealand Schools’ team which lost to Australia. Hastings success shows little sign of slowing. They also won National Under 15 title, defeating Hamilton in the final.

King’s High School First XI Hockey - The King's High School First XI became the first team from Otago to win the Rankin Cup, defeating Timaru Boys' High School 2-0 in the final, after beating Saint Kentigern College 5-3 (1-1 at fulltime) in a semi-final penalty shootout. Inconceivably King's lost two local games this season, the first time that’s happened in many years! It proved to be a wakeup call the team needed, building a defensive fortress that only conceded four goals at Nationals. A Rankin Cup title was great reward for Dave Ross who has been coaching at King’s for 30 years and exceptional captain Ethan Booth.
 
Mount Albert Grammar School Senior Squash - The MAGS Premier Squash team made history when they won the National Secondary Schools title for the first time in Tauranga. MAGS had lost to Auckland Grammar School in the decider nine years, but reversed that result by defeating hosts and defending champions Tauranga Boys’ College in the final. MAGS only dropped one of 24 games in the whole tournament. The full squad was: Max Conder, Mason Smales, Tarin Love, Jack Conder (Captain), Arnd Arelmann, Jaeswen Kwan and Hasan Pathan. Coach Michael Blanchard was in the MAGS team that lost to Auckland Grammar
 
Sacred Heart College First XI Football - Sacred Heart may have lost their vice like grip on the Auckland Premiership, but their true class was evident in September when they held their nerve to beat Auckland Grammar School 2-1 in extra time in the National final and later added the Auckland Knockout Cup to their trophy cabinet. The telling strike in Sacred Heart's fifth national title in the past nine years was a penalty in the first-half of extra time by Riwai Stanton. Campbell Strong was a standout in the final, and he went on to win the College Sport Auckland Football award last week.

Saint Kentigern College Basketball - St Kent’s won their first National title, ending Rosmini’s stranglehold on the crown. A powerhouse performance by Shalom Broughton (24 points and 23 rebounds) broke open a close final in the final two quarters. Broughton was the tournament MVP, while Alex McNaught and Levick Kerr both also made the tournament team. St Kent’s had hinted they were national championship quality earlier in the season when they reached the Auckland final, narrowly losing to Rangitoto College by three points before reversing that result in the Zone I decider. St Kent’s have been coached for some time by Aaron Jones. 

Sacred Heart College First XI Football - Sacred Heart may have lost their vice like grip on the Auckland Premiership, but their true class was evident in September when they held their nerve to beat Auckland Grammar School 2-1 in extra time in the National final and later added the Auckland Knockout Cup to their trophy cabinet. The telling strike in Sacred Heart's fifth national title in the past nine years was a penalty in the first-half of extra time by Riwai Stanton. Campbell Strong was a standout in the final, and he went on to win the College Sport Auckland Football award last week.
 
Tauranga Boys’ College, Underwater Hockey - Won a three-peat of NZSS Underwater Hockey titles at the national tournament in Wellington in September. With three U19 Men’s team world champion players in their squad in Thomas Holdom (year 12), Aidan Heath (year 12) and Zac Howe (year 13) Tauranga Boys’ College won a tense final over Glendowie Cowie 2-1 after leading 1-0 at halftime. They also had wins over Glendowie (2-0), Mahurangi College (8-0), Hutt International Boys’ School (4-1), Nelson College (4-1) and Howick College (3-1) en route to the final. Unlike the previous two years, Tauranga also won the national title after not winning the North Island tournament, finishing runners-up to Howick College.

Wellington College First XI Cricket - For the first time since 1996 a school from the capital became National champions after a dramatic run in Christchurch in December 2018. Wellington lost the local final to Hutt International Boys' School, but reversed that result in the regional decider before winning four out of five games at the Lincoln University turf. Wellington outplayed 2017 winners Christchurch Boys' High School, but most dramatically took four wickets for a single run to stun Auckland champions, King's College. Dylan Sharma, Harry Hunter and Tim Robinson were in the top four leading wicket takers at Nationals while the team also featured head prefect Ollie Petersen. Wellington have requalified for the 2019 Nationals in December.
