Braeburn Sports Festival brings home MVP!
2nd October 2018
A group of our finest athletes journeyed to Nairobi last weekend for the annual Braeburn Sports Festival. The event celebrates the most multi talented athletes in all Braeburn schools across Kenya and Tanzania.
As always, BISA athletes gave their all in every event and put in a stunning athletic performance across the board.
Here is a report from Angel Karegyesa:
On Thursday 27th September 2018, a group of fourteen students- comprising of seven boys and seven girls- set off to Nairobi at roughly 10am, to participate in the annual Braeburn Sports Festival; held at Braeburn Garden Estate from Friday 28 th September to Saturday 29 th September. It was a weekend filled with hard work, teamwork and fun.
There were four teams: Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Serengeti and Tsavo. Our fourteen students were split into the four teams and mixed amongst other students from the various Braeburn Schools across Kenya. This year’s sports included: Athletics, Netball, Gaelic football and CrossFit. With Athletics and Netball being two out of the many sports played in Braeburn Arusha, our students were comfortable. However, they were eager to learn Gaelic football; which ended up being very entertaining and consisted of many rules. The two days of teamwork were concluded with a dreadful CrossFit that consisted of a bunch of squats, burpees and planks, finally coming to an end with a 1 Mile run.
The festival wrapped up with Maasai Mara placing first, Tsavo as the runners up, Amboseli as third, and Serengeti in fourth."
Secondary student, Angel Karegyesa was picked as the most valuable player of the entire event from all schools who competed - a very special congraulations goes to her!
Well done to Team Arusha!
