Maz Parkes (Year 9) and Cooper Phillips (Year 11) were both crowned National Junior Motocross Champions.

Racing down in Invercargill, known widely as 'The Sandpit', the three-day event was raced from the 14th to the 16th of April.   

Cooper and Maz competed in 5 races during the event. 

Cooper raced in the 14-16 years, 85cc class, finishing 1st in NZ.

This is a wonderful series of achievements by two extremely talented Motocross riders. 

Cooper has recovered from a serious injury riding in an event prior to entering Argyle House, breaking his femur. It's pleasing to see Cooper has made a full recovery. 

We look forward to hearing of both boys' results over the various 2023 competitions. Especially Cooper, who is about to compete in Australia in July.

Congratulations to both young men!
