Schools' MTB Championships (NZSS)

Rozz Guillemot —

This event took place in various locations around Wellington over the weekend 02 - 04 October. Burnside High School had three competitors in this event.

Unfortunately as the Auckland schools were unable to attend due to the Covid restrictions in place in September and early October, this event could no longer be referred to as a National Championship. 

The three Burnside High School students who competed at this event were: Robbie Cochrane, Tom Scotter and Jonty Sincock.

All three boys rode really well and gained some great racing experience. In their finals both Tom and Jonty had clean runs, with Robbie having a mixed bag.
