A night of good sports

articlemain

JFS honoured its finest athletes on Thursday evening at the school's sixth annual sports awards.

Taking the top prize for sports person of the year was Amanda Tropp, the British under-17 trampoline champion, who also went home with the senior dance award.

She narrowly beat karate champion Hannah Freund and gymnast Jessica Helfgott to claim the title.

Meanwhile, though the girls dominated the top spots - with Maxine Hotz named sports personality of the year - the boys also won praise, with the senior football team winning boys' team of the year, and Josh Stevens taking home the award for best cricketer.

Presiding over events was British gymnast and international champion Beth Tweddle, who also addressed the students with a keynote speech.

And ensuring that no one went home empty-handed, all the winners and nominees won a trip to the Lee
Valley Velodrome at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in east London, thanks to the event's sponsors, Maccabi GB.
