Nth Island Secondary School Ski Champs

Last week Wentworth competed in the NISSSC competition at Turoa ski field.  This was a milestone for Wentworth as we had 2 teams this year, comprising of Jack and Ambrose Ledbrook, Alexander Gregory, Michael Coutts, Max Romminger, Kelly Main, Alexis Eccles and Louise Fonclara.  All skiers skied really well and made it down the courses with fabulous control and speed.  We placed about mid-range in the field, and considering our skiers are not part of race squads, our results are fantastic.  They were:
Wentworth A - 56th out of 117 teams
Wentworth B - 68th out of 117 teams
Despite some challenging weather we had a wonderful time away.  Everyone enjoyed themselves and there was lots of laughter, jokes and fun both on skis and off.  A huge thank you to my 3 star helpers - Wayne Romminger, Greg Main and Christian Fonclara - who helped as course assistants, braving the cold conditions to be marshals, gate-keepers and helping at the top of the girls' course.  And to top it all off, Wentworth B team won a spot prize!!!  Well done everyone.
