Balfour Intercollegiate Championships

By Jacqueline Irving | Posted: Thursday August 18, 2022

A minus three degree frost was a refreshing way to start the intercollegiate shoot in Balfour on Sunday.

Diesel burners warmed up some until the sun was able to thaw the ground. Sunshine and still conditions prevailed for most of the day's shooting.

The squad members: Nic Sim, Ollie Nicholson, Shamus Young, Charlie Scurr, Johnathon King, Jackson Stevens, Ben Roy, Darrius Rogers and Dustin Young proudly represented our school.

Senior Results:
2nd Single Rise Overall  Ollie Nicholson (Year 13)
2nd Senior Skeet  Ollie Nicholson
3rd Point Score  Ollie Nicholson

3rd Single Rise  Nic Sim (Year 13)

2nd Single Barrel  Shamus Young (Year 11)

3rd Single Rise (Junior due to birth date)  Jonathon King (Year 11)

Junior Results:
1st Point Score  Dustin Young (Year 9)

1st Single Barrel  Jackson Stevens (Year 10)

Our clay target shooters had their success acknowledged across senior and junior assemblies this week. Practices continue as we prepare for the forthcoming Wanaka and Alexandra intercollegiate competitions. Participation and success across competitions allows our boys to qualify to shoot both South Island and New Zealand Secondary School Championships at the start of the next school holidays. 

There will be a lot of kilometres clocked up and ammunition spent between now and then.
