Slope skiing sensation

Miss D Turnbull —

On Friday and Saturday Year 7 student Lily skied in the National Junior School Ski Championships held at The Remarkables mountain.

Lily was skiing in the Year 7 & 8 category, which meant she was up against some girls who were 2 years older than her. Friday was a giant slalom course down the Crossfall run, and she placed a very respectable 8th position with a time of 34.33 seconds.

On Saturday the racing was a dual slalom on Crossfall run, and she managed to better her position by two places to finish 6th in the Year 7 & 8 category with a time of 18.43 seconds. 

Huge congratulations to Lily who will compete alongside her sister for Columba at the Otago/Southland School Championships next month. Best of luck!
