Secondary athletic students at YCIS Shanghai Gubei Campus can be proud of another fantastic season, with four ACAMIS Championships, two SISAC regular season Championships, two ACAMIS runners-up, two SISAC runners-up, and four ACAMIS third place winners. In order to celebrate students’ athletic achievements and the team spirit of all students involved, a Secondary Sports Dinner is held every year. This year’s event also focused on the achievements of Year 13 students who contributed to YCIS athletics, as 23 of these athletes will graduate at the end of this semester.
