Distancing racing rivals STEPHEN STUART Motueka High School’s adventure racing team has made up for last year’s frustration by racing away with the Hillary Challenge over five days in Tongariro, in the central North Island. The eight-strong team, four girls and four boys, dominated the first two days which involved 12, one-hour challenges. The next two days of expeditions were a test of navigation and equipment and they were comfortably mastered by Motueka. Nika Rayward and Tide Fa’avae, fresh from competing with distinction at the Australian Junior Orienteering championships, were awarded the top navigators award as their mapping skills gave them a huge lead over the 11 other schools taking part. A 55 km multisport race with canoeing, riding and running completed the series of events with the Motueka team winning by 17 minutes. That took two minutes off the course record. It was the third time in six years that See page 2.
