Report: Auckland Secondary Schools Triathlon Championships

The Auckland Secondary Schools Triathlon Championships were held on Sunday 19 February with a number of students from Auckland Grammar School competing.

Held at Maraetai Beach on the east cost, excellent weather conditions made for some great swim times. Form 5 student C. P. Wagener was first out of 34 finishers in the College Sport Intermediate Under 16 category, finishing in a time of 41 minutes 9 seconds, with fellow Form 5 student K. J. Moyle finishing almost three minutes behind in a very credible fourth place with a time of 43 minutes 56 seconds.

Other noticeable achievements included Form 5 student Y. C. Y. Chan finishing fifth overall and a very strong performance from Form 5 student J. M. Hiddleston in his first event.

In the College Sport Senior event, Form 7 student and Captain of Multisport Q. R. Gardner-Hall (pictured above, far left) finished third overall in a time of 1 hour 2 minutes, in a strong field of competitors.

Congratulations to all students who took part and to Master in Charge M. Jervis for his support of the team.
