Samantha Guille finished 6th in the U15 Women 15km
race. Luke Cridland
finished 5th in the U15 Men 25km race with Keegan Aitchison
finishing in the top 20. Jonathon
Cridland was placed 11th in the U13 Men 11km event.
Pita Vea also competed in the U13 event.
In
the Under 17 mens race, Chris Jenkins had a very hard ride and was in
the main break of the day in the u17 with 10 riders Chris attacked the
uphill sprint to the line and was able to increase his position by 2
places coming in 6th. Rob
Cater finished in the top twenty after a very difficult ride very gusty
wind only about 20 finished the U17 Men's race due to the
conditions on the course.Excellent work both riders.
In the Under
15 Mens race, Luke Cridland finished 5th after having a break of nearly
a minute with Tyler Mclaughlin and Chris Guillan. The bunch started to
break up in the first 10 km. After the first 1km Luke Tyler and Chris
went to the front. Tyler got to the front and got away from the other 2
on the decent then luke chased. Chris then attacked Luke on a
slight incline and got away. That left Luke in no mans land. The
chasing bunch caught Luke about 1k from the bottom of the ''''hill''''''
which is about 3k long. They rode to the line as a bunch of 5 but
in the sprint to the line Luke had nothing left and finished 3rd in the
bunch sprint.
In the Under
15 Women, Samantha Guille finished 6th in the Road race. Samantha
stayed with the field and actually led the girls up the big hill
and all the way back to the finish line. When they made the turn
she was in second spot and just and ran out of steam for the sprint to
the finish, but again an outstanding effort for a girl who only started
cycling in February and
7th in the Time Trial in a time of 19.32 for 10km.
Jonno Cridland
finished 11th in the U13 Mens Road Race. Jonno was in the main break
untill the hill (from hell) just losing contact with the bunch about
200m from the top. Once over the top there was only about 1km to
the finish and Jonno was unable to get back on. Top effort anyway
Jonno.
Keegan Atchinson
finished in the top 20 in the U15m the main split came early in the race
he tried to bridge the gap across to luke to may be assist luke later in
the race but the pace was realy on. He
then settled down in the bunch and worked hard and also found the going
hard on the ''''hill''''. Keegan was rapt that he finished with the main
bunch in the state championships.
All
riders had a difficult time due to the cold and windy conditions
with extreme wind gusts of
60kph plus.
