At the North Island Secondary Schools Mountain Biking Championships in Papamoa competition was fierce with up to 450 riders competing each day. For some, this was their first competition outside Kerikeri and others their first ever downhill race. It was fantastic to see our young students develop skills, maturity and confidence from their new experiences.
There were some top ten finishes, and after a lung-busting, thigh burning pedal-fest a podium finish for our Senior Boys Cross Country Relay team, Zach Trautz (Year 12), Will McNulty (Year 11) and Liam Hoult (Year 10) who came in third in the Cross-Country Event.
