Mountain Bike Nationals - Jollynose

With 20 riders to represent SJPC, we headed down to Bonny Hills for the inter-school event at the infamously rocky ‘Jolly Nose’ MTB trails.

With a field of nearly 200 riders from all over the state, and steeper/more technical trails than usual for school events, the competition was tough! The SJPC students were amazing, giving 100% all day, representing the college with grit, camaraderie and a serious sense of fun. We also had 5 parents who were generous enough to give up a work day to spend their time pit-crewing for the hungry, thirsty, dusty riders. With all said and done, SJPC came away 2nd overall in the schools competition, and took out first place in the junior (Year 7-8) division with Max Pinder, and third place in the intermediate (Year 9-10) division with Harvey Wilhelm. Special mention to Levi Schultz who placed fourth in his first ever race, and all the riders deserve congratulations for a brilliant effort!
