Oliver Larcombe wins gold at NZSS Triathlon Championships
Our athletes competed in the New Zealand Secondary Schools Triathlon Championships in New Plymouth from 27-28 March.
Conditions were overcast and the sea was choppy making the swim a real challenge. Our students competed in the U19 age group which consisted of a 750m swim, 18.5km bike and finishing with a 5km run πππ΄
π₯ Well done to Oliver Larcombe who won the U19 individual triathlon, completely dominating his opposition throughout most of the race
π₯Oliver Larcombe, Toby Finlayson, Nikita Coleman and Monique Speeding (from HGHS) also won their race in the team U19 mixed relay event. Each student had to complete a mini-triathlon for this race and our team held the lead throughout their race to comfortably secure the win.
