On saturday 1st of June, our rangatahi who participate in "Te Waka Taiohika o Murihiku Rangatahi Waka Ama" programme, headed through to Dunedin to compete, with a total of 7 teams representing our waka programme. The weather was very changable with high winds meaning the race time had to be delayed and the course altered so that it was safe to paddle. Our kids did so well!
- 2 teams placing first
- 2 team placing 2nd
- 1 team placing 3rd
And all teams having the best time out on the water competing over a distance of 3km with 7 turns
Many thanks to all who supported our Rangatahi coming through, parents, friends and whānau and a big mihi out to Whaea Tracey (Tra Mac) for training all of our crews and of course her amazing organisational skills As well as Matua Sean, Whaea Shoni, Whaea K, Matua James and Mr Moo.
Bring on Ki Uta Ki Tai Waka Challenge Labour Weekend!
