This year they competed at an erg relay - racing on rowing machines - at the Union Boat Club and in a waka tug of war where competitors paddled to get to one end while tied to their opponents in another waka trying to get to the other end.

Junior sportswoman of the year went to kayaker Hayley Stewart, while the senior prize went to Whanganui Collegiate runner Louise Brabyn.

Meanwhile Whanganui High School canoeists dominated the men's categories - with Angus Sewell getting the junior sportsman award while Zane Mills-Nossiter took out the senior prize.
