SA Triathlon Championships


A group of 30 Champagnat and Marcellin students travelled to West Lakes to compete in the SA School Sport Triathlon Championships. In trying conditions, our students once again went above and beyond managing to win the Sam White Trophy for the Best Overall School for the second year in a row. Due to the excessive heat the Intermediate and Senior courses were reduced in length, but the conditions still proved challenging.

Top 10 finishes on the day:
