From misty mornings to sunny finishes, our students conquered the SSWA Triathlon with grit and grace. A day of courage, teamwork, and unforgettable achievements!
On Thursday, November 6, Rehoboth students competed in the annual SSWA Triathlon event held at Champion Lakes. The morning began cool with a light mist of rain for the individual competitors, but by the time the team events commenced, the sun had emerged to create perfect racing conditions.
Students represented the College with outstanding effort, sportsmanship, and behaviour throughout the competition. They took on the challenging Triathlon course consisting of a 400m swim, 12km bike ride, and 3km run, competing both individually and in teams. A special mention goes to Aviah Odendaal, who placed first in the Aquathlon event (2km run, 400m swim, 2km run) before backing up to swim the opening leg for the Year 7 Mixed Team.
