Secondary School Ski & Snowboard Championships. Following an overnight storm and fresh snow, the conditions were excellent. More than 30 boys put their hands up for the 12 spaces to represent the school. The boys had two runs each, down two different courses, and their times were combined for the overall time. College dominated the top 10 placings, with Tomas Coberger, JJ Wada, and Seb Gray the three fastest College skiers from the 74 starters. Tomas shared 1st place for the individual overall title, recording a speedy 21.77 seconds for one of his runs, while JJ secured 4th spot overall and 3rd in the boys’ competition. Seb Gray and Josh Brown claimed 5th and 6th, respectively, in the boys’ contest
while Tim Tolerton (8th) and Luc Botherway (9th) also powered into the top 10. In the snowboard event, Year 12 student Edward Bodie-Healy took 6th spot (13.39) in the boys’ section and 7th overall.
