What a week......I said before we left that we were taking our most experienced and well prepared team, and I stand by that. The WARTS team went down to the Genesis Energy Hillary Challenge with multiple goals, and achieve all of them except one. They were an amazing team, that really worked beyond their years, communicating frustrations, listing to each others ideas, and learning from mistakes. They were fit, fast and a force not to be messed with , however I believe that this year the bar was raised, and all teams (including the Australians) were well prepared for what can only be described as a smorgasboard of activities and challenges. True to reputation, Darren and the OPC team put on a first class event, that required every team member to contribute and play their part. Our team represented both schools and the Northland area with pride and a determination to do their best. We came away with a very respectable 5th place, not enough to get us automatically into the final for next year, but enough to show that we are competitive and growing stronger every year.
To Ryan, Eloise, Alice, James, Bridget, Shaan, Anna, and Rob, you gave it your all and we could ask nothing more of you. You were simply outstanding, and we are all so proud of your accomplishments.
Below are some of the moments from the week:
