As I write this I am waiting in anticipation of hearing how our Canterbury athletes performed in Ashburton yesterday at the Canterbury Athletic Championships. Updates to follow.
After 4 years+ and many successes in biking, running, and swimming, triathlon & duathlon competition, Jacob Turner has cracked it!
At last week's Canterbury Triathlon Jacob was placed second behind his mate Dominic. He is absolutely over the moon and this is what he said, "This is the one I've wanted the most". What a remarkable year for Jacob after being placed third in the U14 Mountain Biking Nationals, as well as all his other achievements in sport. Congratulations Jacob.
Coming in closely was newcomer, year 5 Kirtsy Watts who was placed 4th in the 9 girls. Kirtsy and family are passionate about triathlons and it shows in her placing and her enjoyment.
Ashton & Cohan finished highly in their big fields with 15th and 21st respectively.
In our School Tennis Championships:
Girls' Singles: Rosa Davidson, runner-up Molly Spark
Boys' Singles: Ed Davdison, runner-up Max Walsh
Girls' Doubles: Molly Spark & Isabel Thiellier
Boys' Doubles: Ed Davidson & Kees Bohnenn
This Friday is our final night of Basketball. Thank you to all the people that make this possible: The NCJBA committee and their band of floor controllers and referees. What a mammoth job they have and what a great job they do.
Thank you to our coaches: Megan & Caitlin Penney, Mitchell Bailey, Rob Storer, Rosie O'Shea and team of Mikaela & Bailey , Kelly Smart, and our mini ball coach Nicky Simpson

Sport above politics? Silver and Rakahuri Tournament postponement
With August descending into freezing conditions what better time to be glued to the TV for the Olympics.
Congratulations to our exceptional sailors Pete Burling & Blair Tuke who lead our team at Rio.
It is always emotional for me watching the team emerge from the tunnel. Interesting that the only team to pause longer was the USA team.
The ceremony was a brief story of Brazil's human history and a celebration of their diversity and their love of dance and music. It was the most chilled Opening ceremony I have witnessed. I liked the theme and the speech of the Rio organising Committee Chair - In Humanity we need to look for similarities and celebrate diversity.
The IOC Refugee Team received rapturous applause.
An emotional highlight for me was the IOC's new award, the Olympic Laurel for services and achievement in the fields of education, culture, development & peace through Sport - what a special moment for Kenya Runner Kipchoge Keino.
Go the KIWI's! Good luck to them all. Congratulations to our first medal recipient - Natalie Rooney you legend, from Timaru (Trap Shooting).
The Rakahuri Winter Tournament is now being held on Friday 12th August.
NC Friday Night Basketball Registrations opened this week. Please watch the basket ball page on this blog for all the information.
Good luck to anyone playing in rugby finals tomorrow.
If anyone makes representative teams please let me know!

Sporting Success at Fernside - on track, bike and in water
Congratulations to all the Fernside Students playing in Club champs, representing the School, Zone and province in swimming, Biking and athletics
Jacob Turner & Harri Silcock rode for 7 hours to win the Rakahuri Rage yr 7/8 student category with their mate Dominic. What an amazing feat! They continue to impress us with their perseverance and their fitness!
And on the same day Lillie Rayner & Ben Phillips represented Canterbury at the South Island Club Athletics Championships with some success I might add!
Ben won his shot put, Lillie was placed in Long Jump, relay and I think 400m.
They loved being part of the experience and are quietly chuffed!
WE think they are fantastic.
And as if that wasn't enough the Swim team had a great outing at the pool yesterday.
The results differed from the Rakahuri Champs - some better and some not so, but times were consistently improved.
The smile on the face of James was something to behold!

Swimming, Triathlon and Biking
MainPower Primary School Swimming Programme
The North Canterbury Sport & Recreation Trust is administering the MainPower Primary School Swimming Programme again in 2016. This programme has been growing for several years and now includes around 6000 Yr2-8 students from across North Canterbury, who each receive 10 quality swimming lessons for just $10 each. Sponsorship for this programme comes from MainPower, Waimakariri and Hurunui Councils, KiwiSport and other funding agencies, as well as NCSRT activities within the community, including the Rakahuri Rage Teams Mountain Bike Race in Rangiora on 20th March.
Unfortunately this year our KiwiSport funding has been cut by $14,000 for the Swimming programme so we are becoming more reliant on events like the Rakahuri Rage and our key local sponsors to keep it running, and that is where your community support is much appreciated. Last year we raised over $10,000 for the swimming programme but this year we hope to raise even more to help make up for the funding we have lost.
The Rakahuri Rage is a fantastic entry level event suitable for riders of all ages and skill levels, and will provide a challenge for everyone. It is an ideal opportunity for junior riders to compete and for adults to team up with kids, neighbours, family or school groups. It’s open to riders 12 years and older (or Yr 8 students) and can be used as one of the activities for the William Pike Challenge Award.
It’s only $55 for adults and $35 for 12-17 Year olds. Teams are of 2-4 riders and we’re sure you’ll have a fun day, get some exercise and make use of one of the great mountainbiking tracks on our door step.
Race date is Sunday 20th March 2016. You can find out more and download the entry form from www.rakahuri-rage.nz or pick up a printed copy from Push Bike Rangiora, the Sports Centre on East Belt, or Dudley Park Aquatic Centre.
You can keep up-to-date on Rakahuri Rage race news and information by liking our facebook page.
The track is now well marked from the Rangiora Race Course or the Ashely River Bridge, so get out and give it a go and get your team entry in before 10th March.
We hope to see you at Rakahuri Rage 2016.

Have you tried this game?
Indiaca is a form of the Brazilian game peteca popular in Europe. It is played on
court across a net with similar rules to volleyball but instead of
a ball, a large shuttlecock,
sometimes also called an indiaca, or featherball is used; this
consists of four goose feathers attached to a heavier base, and it is
controlled using the hands. In this way, indiaca differs from jiànzi (or featherball), a very
similar game originating in Vietnam
and China, where the
shuttlecock is controlled with the feet. Indiaca can be played by two
individual players facing each other, or by small teams.
