Over 300 Triathletes @ Fendalton School

Team 22 Individual Triathletes last Wednesday

Today over 300 triathletes of all ages competed in our Teams' Triathlon (105 teams of 3). Some classes in the Middle and Senior Teams had 100% participation! (I know Team 7 did!). Teachers and parents also took part with the only school record falling on the day to the Mums' team of Annabel S., Kate R and Julieana F. who smashed the 2008 record by 43 seconds and were the fastest team overall on the day in 7min. 16 sec.

It was great to see so many children giving it a go and hopefully many of the participants will try a full triathlon in the future.

Ribbons for triathlon placegetters in both the Individual and Teams' Tri will be awarded at assembly on Friday.

  1. Congratulations to Paul Norton and the team at Fendalton for another excellent event.
    I also applaud Fendalton school for their proactive attitude to getting our children excercising.
    Thank you,

  2. I too would like to congratulate Paul on yet another fantastic afternoon on Thurs.
    The children loved it and all pretty stoked about their personalised bibs! Was great to see all the bigger Fendalton friends out cheering them on as well.
    Many of my friends at other schools are very envious of our sporting events -we are very lucky and really appreciate it.
    Thanks again
