The well-drilled team of Kieran Waldron, Michael Strong and Seton Mason did their school proud finishing a fantastic second behind Mount Maunganui in the Year 8 team’s event. Waldron got his team off to a flying start on the 150m swim leg, being ninth out of the water. Strong lived up to his name on the 8km cycling leg, producing the fastest overall time to promote his team into third place. The excellent work of his team-mates was then capitalised on by Mason on the final 2km run leg. The two front runners had 100 metres lead when he received the timing device from Strong but Mason quickly settled in behind the second placed North- cross Intermediate run- ner before passing him on the last climb.
