WBHS Cycling

TTT2 - Juniors claim1st while Seniors pick up 2nd equal.

Thanks to Borynt for the report:
Sunday the 17th of May started off with a crisp early morning drive down to Pukekohe racetrack for our cyclists for the second team time trial of the season, lots of layers all around with winter incoming.

Huge support from our parents, teachers, and coaches that came along helping with warmup and setup before our teams were racing. Teams completed 6 laps of the course, 16km total trying to get the fastest time against other teams while also battling the cold and slight winds.

Our senior A team made up of Ashton Sinclair, Blake Jeffery, Ethan Bowen, Joshua Blaney, and Borynt Em Ream made away with 2nd tied exactly with Auckland Grammar. The new aero helmets proving their worth. The strength of our senior B team proven, with them coming 5th, the fastest B team out of all the schools.

Our junior A team of Ethan Rawson, Narin Em Ream, Seth Bird, and Theo Lloyd came away with a clean first place, alongside junior B and C who greatly improved their times from the last race, a great effort overall. Great work for all the boys out there last weekend.

Congratulations also to Harry Shannon who is currently racing in Europe. While it’s a major achievement to simply be able to race on the European circuit, we were delighted to see Harry win the Tour of Torhout. A sensational result. Good luck to Ashton Sinclair too as he travels to Australia this weekend to race the Tour of Canberra.

In a rare double - WBHS took both NZ titles yesterday for TTT in Palmerston North. Huge congratulations Senior A & Junior A. We are enormously proud.
