Success at the New Zealand Secondary Schools Triathlon Championships

The New Zealand Secondary Schools Triathlon Championships took place during Summer Tournament Week in Wānaka.  The competition took place after a southerly had made its way up the South Island meaning that racing was delayed because of the lake temperature being so low, so conditions were challenging.

In the Under 14 race Filip Martin secured the Gold medal, Flynn Balfour the Silver and Oliver Lean was 7th home. 

In the Under 16 race Charlie Hook finished in 9th place and Jacob Lean in 10th.

These young men then teamed up with competitors from Girls’ High to race in the Sprint Mixed Teams event, with Filip and Flynn in the winning U14 team, while Charlie and Jacob were in winning the U16 team.

On the basis of these very impressive performances Palmerston North Boys’ High School was awarded the cup for the best boys' school.
