Medal Haul for Paige & Erin

Sharleen Marfell —

Congratulations to Paige Horne (Year 9) and Erin Green (Year 12) who competed at the South Island Bank Track Championship in Timaru recently.  Their hard work, training and commitment meant they both bought home some medals.

Paige won individual gold medals in Cadets for:

  • 200m Duel Time Trial
  • 500m Sprint
  • 1000m Sprint 
  • 5k Points Race 

She added to her individual medals by winning a team relay Silver Medal, coming close to the Gold. She was also 4th in the open age grades 10k Elimination, narrowly missing out on a place in the last 10 meters before the finish line.

Junior Girls saw Erin Green (Year 12) grab two close wins over Mikaela Macdonald in the 200m Time Trial and the 1000m. In the 10,000 Points, a mixed-gender field saw Erin come in at a comfortable second place.  The next day a sprint finish in the 500m race saw a lunge on the line where Erin narrowly missed the gold.

Amazing work by two very dedicated skaters! We look forward to hearing more from them in the future.
