Canterbury Triathlon

Natasha Fraser —

On Tuesday the 23rd of March, we had 9 children head out to Clarkville to compete in the Canterbury Triathlon for Years 5-8.

The children were well prepared, having worked on their transitions and each individual leg of the race - swim, bike and run. Children in Years 5&6 had to swim 100m, bike 7.5km, and run 2km. The Years 7&8 children had to swim 150m, bike 10km, and run 2.5km. 

A huge congratulations to all the students that competed on the day, they represented Halswell School with pride. We had several comments from our parent helpers on the children's manners and outstanding sportsmanship. A big thank you to the parents that helped at the event.

A special mention to George H in Year 5 who placed 13th in Canterbury out of 76, an awesome result!
