American International School of Guangzhou Wins Eight Fall Trophies

GUANGZHOU, 30 October 2026. The American International School of Guangzhou (AISG) announced on Wednesday the results of its fall athletics season: eight first-place team trophies, eight APAC podium finishes, 13 broken records and three Spirit of APAC Awards, across volleyball, tennis, cross country and swimming.

The Rams hosted the RAMS Invites during the school's 45th anniversary, and both Varsity Volleyball teams took first place. The Varsity Tennis teams finished first (girls) and second (boys) against Guangzhou international and bilingual schools.

In the pool, the RAMS Swim Invite brought together seven schools for a friendly meet, the first of three this year. AISG took Team High Point. One swimmer earned Individual High Point in the 15 and over category and set new pool, school and age-group records in the 100 IM, 100 Free and 50 Fly, plus school and age-group records in the 50 Free. A relay team of four also set a new pool record in the 200 Free Relay.

More exciting results from our volleyball teams took place at TriCities. The boys took first place and the girls second, and both teams pulled off amazing comebacks. In tennis, the girls finished first and the boys third, and the doubles pairs brought home three third-place finishes.

At the ISB Invitational, the cross country runners placed fourth, 13th, 17th and 21st against a strong international field.

Both volleyball teams then won the Guangzhou International Schools Sports Association (GISSA) Volleyball Conference Championship, finishing first against six other schools. Six players were named to the All-Tournament teams and three received the Spirit of GISSA Award. AISG is a founding member of GISSA.

“APAC offers our student-athletes the opportunity to compete on a world-stage alongside schools that share a commitment to excellence.”
