Written by Mr Flaherty | Leweston Head Pentathlon Coach | Apr 3, 2024 2:56:21 PM

The Biathlon challenges athletes with a combination of swimming and running, each tackling distances tailored to their age. Competitors earn points based on their time trial performance in both disciplines. The individual with the highest points emerges victorious, while for the team, it consists of 3 athletes representing the same school.

Congratulations to Izzy K National Champion (Prep 6), Lexie C Silver (Prep 5), Reuben C Bronze (Year 11) and Mr Manning Gold in The teacher's race. Leweston finished with three National Team Champions;
