After 50 years of racing in Palmerston North, the venue for this year’s Cycling Nationals was Christchurch. Twenty-nine cyclists travelled down for three days of intense racing, with each cyclist putting months of training to the test at national level.
The highlight of day one was a win by the Junior Girls A team who posted a time over 20 seconds faster than the team following in second place. Saint Kentigern also struck gold the following day in the Road Race where Ruby Spring (Year 7&8) and Jensen Foster (U17) posted dominant wins to earn gold medals. Emma Hannan (U16) and Callum Walsh (U20) both took bronze in their respective categories. Day 3 began with Ruby Spring repeating her victory from the day before, this time in the Points Race. Sacha McLeod (U16) and Sophie De Vries (U15) both took silver medals.
