MAKING MALVERNIANS
In the Fast Lane
Takeru, Year 7, is already achieving remarkable success as a kart racer at junior level in Japan. Competing in the Cadets class in the AutoBacs GPR Karting Series, the highest level in Japan, Takeru emerged as Series Champion. With many famous Formula 1 drivers, not least Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen and Lando Norris, all starting their careers in Karting, Takeru is already following in the footsteps of greatness. We look forward to tracking his motor racing career with great interest.

Professional Contract for JT
Recent Malvern College alumnus, JT L, has signed a professional contract with Somerset County Cricket Club after following the club’s pathway scheme since first joining as an Under 10. He made his ‘List A’ debut for Somerset in the 2023 Metro Cup as well as his England U19 debut against Ireland in the same year. As a wicket-taking left-arm seamer, we are sure to see JT opening the bowling for Somerset for many years to come.

Both boys came home with trophies with Aiden winning a glorious Gold in the G-Grade Epee, while Karl won a stunning Silver in the A-Grade Epee. We are delighted to share their successes and have no doubt that they will continue to excel in future fencing competitions.
