B Girls’ Volleyball

Under cloudy (but thankfully not rainy) skies, our B girls’ volleyball team recently visited ISK-B for a league match. Despite coming off a tough loss to St. Christopher’s the day before, our ladies did a great job playing together and working for three hits. The first set was back-and-forth, with both sides have great rallies, until ISK-B finally took it in the end by a score of 25-23. However, I was so proud of how our Rosslyn ladies did not quit after losing a close first set, both instead they determined as a team to step up their level of play, and they confidently played an even better second set! We took the second by a score of 25-15! In the final set, both teams played great volleyball, and despite our excellent efforts, ISK-B won the third set 25-16, and the overall match 2-1. Outstanding work, ladies! Keep up the hard work in our last two league games next week!
Coach Lehman

B Girls’ Volleyball vs. St. Christopher

On Monday, our B girls’ volleyball team traveled across town for a double match against St. Christopher’s. Both teams played well throughout both matches, having many long rallies. Though our Rosslyn girls played hard and determinedly worked to get three hits a side, St. Christopher’s took the first match by a score of 2-1 (25-12, 23-25, 15-10). And due to time, our second match was shortened to 15-point sets, and St. Christopher’s continued their momentum as they took the second match by a score of 2-0. Though the scores weren’t in our favor, our girls really came together as a team and encouraged each other, especially during the second match, and they worked hard at communicating, passing to the setter, and working for three hits. Keep working hard, ladies! Great job!
Coach Lehman

Rosslyn Swimmers close the year with a bang!

On Saturday 12^th May 20112, 42 members of our swim team joined the rest of swimmers from different schools in Nairobi.   Nine swim teams came to our beautiful swimming complex and splashed away in style. The age grouping was 6/U all the way to 16 and over. We had swimmers as young as 6 years and as old as 18 years swimming. 

The championships were very competitive, and our swimmers were ready for the tough competition they were waiting to face. They were happy at the same time since they knew the pool better than all the other swimmers.

Our swimmers improved their personal best times by between 2 seconds and 17 seconds.  Thirteen meet records were broken, 8 records by our swimmers and the other 5 by different swimmers from different schools.

Following swimmers broke the Rosslyn records and improved their personal best times
