The annual King Edward High School Interhouse Gala took place last Wednesday. Although the skies were looking particularly dismal and threatening it was decided that the gala go ahead. Faith was rewarded; the dark clouds lifted and the day was enjoyed by all – spectators and swimmers alike.

Competition was strong and it was pleasing to see the increase in the number of swimmers taking to the pool. The tussle between the houses, Melville and Graham, was intense and the final outcome of the gala was in doubt right up until the later stages of the gala. In the final reckoning Melville emerged as the winning house in both the Primary and the High School. Melville was also awarded the Spirit Cup.

The following swimmers received trophies for their overall efforts on the day:

• Primary School: Junior Victrix Ludorum – Porché Killian; Junior Victor Ludorum – Caleb Sweetnam; Senior Victrix Ludorum – Zandri Jacobs, Senior Victor Ludorum – Rueben Vos and Joshua Sweetnam.
• High School: Junior Victrix Ludorum – Kyla Loubser, Junior Victor Ludorum – Lehan Niehaus; Senior Victrix Ludorum – Kayla Harris, Senior Victor Ludorum – Emmanuel van Jaarsveld.

Emmanuel broke three records on the day and was also part of the relay team that set a new open boys 4x25 Relay record.
