Congratulations to the entire Leweston School Biathle team for participating in the National Schools Biathle held at Leweston on Sunday, 18 May. The school was represented by 9 athletes across various age groups, from Year 3 to Year 10.
The Biathle consists of a continuous run-swim-run sequence, with distances varying by age. Participants begin with a run, transition by removing their shoes, dive into the pool for a swim, and then complete the same run again.
The event featured over 180 competitors from different schools, resulting in some thrilling and closely contested races throughout the day. A big thank you to all the competitors, as well as the officials and volunteers who helped organise the competition.
