This morning Ruby Perry (first yearr elite) finished top ten in the elite 3000m pursuit, James Denholm and Anton, also first year elites both rode the long distance of 4000m in the IP, both posting great times in a very fast elite grade, where Dylan Kennett (MSC) took the overall honours. This evening we had lots of riders in kilos and 500s, with Michaela Drummond placing 3rd in very fast U19W 500mTT field, not far behind the winer Olivia Podmore who beat the national record. James Cuff, Cody SimpsonCarne Groube, and Campbell Stewart all posted very fast times in the U19M 1000mTT. Where cam took home the silver in a time of 1:04 just behind Waikatos Lewis Eccles.
Jordan Castle posted a great time in a competitive elite men's kilo field, with Simon van Velthooven flying in the last heat to bring home silver with a 1:01 Kilo.
The last race of the night was a very exciting one, where Chris Denholm broke away in the scratch race with 9 laps to go, holding off the 2 Hugo brothers from Cantabury. Great team effort by all!!!

Thanks to the great support team who make everything happen!

To suit both the athletes attending these championships and the agegroup athletes the decision has been made to only hold the Elite/U19 agegroups this Saturday and we will hold the agegroups at a date closer to their national Champs.
