Season of Success: All IASAS Teams Bring Home Medals in Historic First Season

This autumn, the entire TAS community emerged as winners — as competitors in the games, supporters in the stands, and hosts to visiting athletes in their homes. Every Tiger team won a medal, both in Taipei and abroad, while enthusiastic home fans cheered them on, and local families rose to the occasion by hosting visiting IASAS athletes.

In addition to these remarkable team performances, Cross Country Athlete Sasha B. and his family were honored with the Spirit of IASAS award for going above and beyond in hosting visiting athletes, showing exceptional hospitality and support.

In true Tiger spirit, this season saw our school community rise to the occasion to host the largest IASAS event of the year. Tiger families welcomed 180 athletes from IASAS schools into their homes. Ninety host families provided warm accommodations to ensure the visiting athletes felt at home.

We extend heartfelt congratulations to all athletes, coaches, and families for their dedication, determination, and teamwork, which brought home these fantastic results.
