The Sport Whanganui review of college sport in the region resumes this week focusing on Rangitikei College.

Rangitikei College School Cross Country

At the beginning of Term 2 Rangitikei College held its annual school cross country. Unlike previous years, this year featured the injection of obstacles including a mud pit, hay bales and water from a fire truck. All in all this was a great event that the students and staff enjoyed. Rangitikei College would like to thank Shane Gribbon and Greg Carlyon (BOT members) for their amazing support and assistance running this event.

House Results:

Kaimanawa 1, Tararua 2, Ruahine 3, Kaweka 4.

How long have you been coaching?

"I was a student coach when I was at high school and have been coaching at Rangitikei College since I arrived last year."

What got you into coaching?

"One of the junior teams when I was at high school needed a coach so I thought why not give it a try. It's a great sport and the best way to build a team is to start with juniors and get them loving it and building up basic skills to prepare them for tougher competition at senior level."
