Cooper Phillips (Year 10), Multiple Motocross Champion

Cooper has been riding competitively for a number of years, but has adopted a more cautious approach after breaking his femur in a Motocross accident prior to coming in to Argyle House. It took almost a year for Cooper's injury to heal and now you can't hold Cooper back, as he is on the track, competing with the very best in his class and winning.

In the past couple months, Cooper has won the TT Championships, has won the 'Battle of the Schools' competition at both North King Country and Bay of Plenty, which means he is the overall 'Battle of the Schools' Champion for the 12-16 85cc class.

Congratulations, Cooper. These are fantastic achievements.
