Youth Squad (ages 12 to 18)


The club administers the Nelson and Tasman Regional Schools championship. Points are gained towards individual awards by athletes competing in the four-race Summer Triathlon Series. Points are awarded for each of the categories under 14,16 and 19 for boys and girls for the best performances in up to three of the races. There is also an award for the top school. For 2011 there are cups to compete for donated by Nelson City Council.
