We came in first in the soccer tourney, girls AND boys both. 
xD
Quick explanation: this particular tournament was between all the international schools run by the company. Technically, it's a 'friendly' sort of thing and everyone gives big speeches about how sportsmanship and playing a good game and such is more important than winning. HOWEVER... it's really a school vs. school competition where your team is essentially representing the whole school. Our school is the biggest (and the first founded) so we have a reputation to uphold. (And everyone else wants us to lose. >>) Anyways, last year girls got second, so it was immensely satisfying to win this year. *smug* xD
(I fail at sportsmanship but since they FORGOT the award this year, I guess it's not so extremely important.)
