Rio 2016
It would appear impossible, but Plymouth College population 500, is represented by 10 Olympians at Rio 2016. Plymouth College is world famous for its aquatic programmes, but this year we have more students at the Olympics than any other school in the UK.
As someone who repesents Plymouth College, we thought you might like to cheer the students on. The first weekend of the campaign has gone extremely well, with Rūta Meilutytė claiming her place in the final of the 100m Breaststroke and Lara Butler setting a new national record.
The students representing the school are:
Tom Daley (GB) Diving Rūta Meilutytė (Lithuania) 100m Breaststroke Ben Proud (GB) –50m and 100m Freestyle Julie Meynen (Luxembourg) – 100M Freestyle Paulina Schmiedel (Germany) – 4 x 200m freestyle relay Jamila Lunkuse (Uganda) – 100m Breaststroke Lara Butler (Cayman Islands) – 100m Breaststroke Ahmad Attellesey (Libya) – 50m Freestyle Jade Howard (Zambia) – 100m Freestyle Geoffrey Butler (Cayman Islands) – 400m Freestyle
