The Australian Secondary Schools Snowsports Teams Competition (ASSSTC)
Words by Ann Bellingham
Mount Beauty Secondary College’s courageous team of 16 multi-talented skiers and boarders competed very strongly throughout the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of the ASSSTC.
There were many individual podium results across the disciplines for our winter athletes.
The boys Snowboard Cross team and boys Cross Country Classic and Relay teams won their respective events and many individuals placed very high on the results list. A great effort by all involved.
The Scots School Albury came away with the overall win this year in the ASSSTC, with Mount Beauty Secondary College in second place and Trinity Anglican CollegeAlbury in third. This is an exceptional result, which demonstrates how strong our small team of skiers and snowboarder truly are.
A special mention goes out to Harri Silvester who went up early in the morning on Thursday to help set up the XC course; well done Harri!!
Thanks must go to Lenny Comerford, our Snowsports Coordinator, for the tireless effort that went into organising all the athletes, and the admin that goes with these sorts of events. The students and staff had a great three days of competition and appreciate the effort, thanks Mr C!!
