North Island Secondary School Ski Champs

The Ski Champs took place from the 15th to the 18th of September.

The A Team:

Matt Shaw, William Chilman-Fisher, Ethan McLean, Kurtis Brind and Oliver Sexton

The B Team:

George Reddish, Joe Reddish, Alex Turnbull, Ryan Gleeson and William Carpenter

The New Zealand Secondary Ski Championships is normally run over two days but the weather meant both events had to be held on just one day, and over both ski fields. Giant Slalom was held at Whakapapa and the Slope Style was held at Turoa. As a result, some events could not be attended by all entrants as they were split over the two ski fields.

Final results, PNBHS won the Slope Style event as a school with Ethan McLean finishing second, and Matt Shaw finishing third as individuals.

The top performing junior in the Giant Slalom was William Carpenter, and the top performing senior was George Reddish.
