At 6pm the competition was started with the 7–8year olds quickly followed by our one and only entry in the individual comp, Madison Wills. Our 7 teams then set off with the bikers cycling 2 km handing over the baton to the runners who had to run 1 km. The swimmers completed the triathlon and Tahuna was successful.

Madi Wills cleaned up the 8–10 year old girls individual event while Ryan Watterson, Josh McGregor and Maxwell Fleury-Auld winning the 11–14 Boys leg. Devon, Jabari and George Procter came second and the 5 other teams ( all Year 7s) were all in the top 11 of 17 teams.

On receiving his 2nd place medal George Procter thanked the organisers with a stirring speech clinching it by saying...no matter first or last I know that we enjoyed this occasion because of the smiles. Parents were fantastic and our students were brilliant.

Cameron Jefferies in Year8 also achieved a great result placing 2nd in the Taieri Plains Triathlon 11-14 age group last Friday evening.
