Well done to the 36 students from Years 7 to 9 who competed in the Rocky Trail Flow Duro event at Haunted Hills.

Some of the better individual results were Xav Long, who finished 5th in the Year 9/10 section. Jye Aitken placed 7th in the Year 7/8 section, closely followed by Riley Reimers in 11th and Tate Van Heuvel in 12th.

Lilydale High School has had a large attendance at all three Rocky Trails Academy events in 2023. We look forward to watching our MTB riders improve their skills over the summer holidays, to return eager and ready for the 2024 events.
