Junior Racing
The Track season proper has really begun for the Juniors following the Yunca Tour and Junior Track Carnival last week. There were some phenomenal performances at both the Tour and Carnival, and some huge improvements from new riders in the Age Group Squads, so it’s exciting times ahead leading into Southland Champs and Nationals!
Big thank you to the wonderful Marie Muhl for organising the Junior Track Racing, and to all the helpers involved – Jo Stephens, Alan Strong, Dave Beadle and all the others. Great job!

Senior Racing
There were some great rides over the night as the sprinters start hone their specific skills for upcoming Oceanias, Matt Archibald and Steph McKenzie the stand-out sprint riders of the night.
Andrew Lienert was impressive in the A Grade, while Tom and Jeremy showed their versatility excelling in both the sprint and endurance events.
Ant Leathart again rode strongly in the B Grade, with some excellent and close racing.
Again thank you to Maree Wilkins for helping out and to Ross for helping us out on the bell front ... the case of Nancy Drew and the missing bell has been solved and the proper one will be back in its correct place this afternoon!
