GEMS Wellington Academy - Al Khail is proud to celebrate the incredible achievements of our U13 and U15 Aquathlon Teams at the recent DASSA Championships held at Hamdan Sports Complex. Facing intense competition and soaring temperatures, our student-athletes demonstrated remarkable resilience, determination, and team spirit.
The U13 Girls’ Team delivered an outstanding performance, securing 1st place overall. Special congratulations go to Berrin, Tara, and Alya, who finished 3rd, 4th, and 5th respectively, showcasing the depth of talent and teamwork within the squad.
A standout moment of the day came from Fabio De Armas, who dominated his race for the second consecutive year, finishing a remarkable 23 seconds ahead of the runner-up.
