Some tight racing over Waitangi weekend has set up some real battles in across all of the grades, that will surely take until Queens Birthday to play out. In the teams competition, Central took advantage of home territory and hold a solid lead ahead of Northern, with the Storm trailing.
Central Scorchers - 229
Northerner - 189
Southerly Storm - 144
The Scorchers are a team packed with young sprint specialists who could really capitalise at STB. Look for Southern to make a move at nationals, same too for Northern who will have Matt Ogden back in the game.
In the Mens Superseries, Tim Robertson has a solid lead. Though things are looking tight right behind. As a sprint specialist, Tim will have to really step up in the forest to consolidate this lead at nationals. Stranger things have happened!
Tim Robertson (C) - 40
Tom Reynolds (N) - 24
Karl Dravitzki (C) - 23
Toby Scott (N) - 22
Tane Cambridge (S) - 18
Lizzie Ingham has shown her class and leads with a perfect score. Amber, Greta and Angela are all effectively a race down after mp's and a dns. Lizzie is probably more formidable in the forest than in sprints, so the other girls will have to work hard to reel her in.
Lizzie Ingham (C) - 45
Angela Simpson (N) - 24
Kate Morrison (C) - 22
Amber Morrison (C) - 20
Georgia Whitla (S) - 19
In the Junior Superseries, Tim has a clear lead with a perfect score. Nick Hann will be looking to grab points back in the forest events.
Tom Robertson (C) - 30
Nick Hann (C) - 23
Eugene Campbell (S) - 22
Tim's big sister Laura matched her brother and has a perfect score in the junior womens grade after STB. This grade will be interesting as the girls all fight for JWOC spots.
Laura Robertson (C) - 30
Cosette Saville (N) - 22
Jula McMillan (N) - 22
