The Waikato Schools Individual Triathlon Championships took place at the Mighty River Domain at Karapiro on Wednesday, 13 March.

St Paul’s was represented by four students in the U16 age group: Oliver Larcombe, Isaac Reay, Matt Dawbin and Toby Finlayson. Their race consisted of a 500m swim; a 15k bike leg and a 3k run.

Oliver achieved our highest placing, finishing in 3rd (bronze medal); Isaac placed 7th closely followed by Toby in 8th and Matt finished in 10th place out of a field of 15.

Well done to all competitors in taking on the challenge of competing in this very demanding and competitive event.
