CLEVELANDS Preparatory School raced to team and individual victory at the North West Ski Federation Schools competition.

Gabriella Giambattista-Hunt won gold in the junior girls' individual slalom, and, alongside team-mates Ben and Issy Slater, also took home the junior mixed team title at Pendle Ski Club last month.

Ben finished eighth in the junior boys class, and Issy finished 11th in the junior girls category to complete an outstanding weekend for the school.

Gabriella, who is in Year 6 at Clevelands, made a fastest run of 17.11secs over the 160m downhill course, 0.6secs ahead of the runner-up in her age group.

Her success qualified her to attend the English Schools Ski Association junior squad on a four-day training camp at Easter.
