Pony Club Triathlon
On Thursday 14th
February the Pony Club held their qualifying round for the National Pony Club
Triathlon Championships. There was an
excellent entry for this new competition which was held in glorious sunshine.
The running was held at Poortown (kind permission of Mr & Mrs Peter Lace) with the Mini boys and girls class running 500m, both girls and boys in the Minimus - 1000m and the Junior and Open girls - 1500m. Star performers in this section were Lucy Corlett, Freddie Ralston and Kirree Quayle.
The swimming was held at Peel swimming pool where members had to swim as far as possible in 2 minutes (3 minutes for the Junior & Open classes). Blae Richardson, Breeshey Kermeen-Jansen and Phoebe Cross all excelled in this phase.
The final phase – pistol shooting was held at Laxey Rifle Club under the the watchful eye of Mr Martin Caley who has provided wonderful help and support in this discipline to Pony Club members for many years. The new turning targets were used for the first time in a competition and these made for some very interesting results. Really good scores were shot by Aislinn Lace, Daisy Loader and Aalish Creer but top shooting score for the night went to Phoebe Cross.
This was a most enjoyable competition and we hope to run more triathlons for members and also when the weather improves will run a tetrathlon which include the riding cross country section. The results were as follows:-
Mini Mini Boys and Girls:- 1st Lucy Parsons, 2nd Zevi Sansbury, 3rd Patrick Loader, 4th Tommy Ralston
Minimus Girls:- 1st Breeshey Jansen, 2nd Aislinn Lace, 3rd Abby Jackson
Minimus Boys:- 1st Luke Hall, 2nd Freddie Ralston
Junior Girls:- 1st Isla Curphey, 2nd Abby Turner-Drewry,3rd Jessica Loader
Open Girls:- 1st Phoebe Cross, 2nd Kirree Quayle.
Good luck to those members who will be travelling to the Championships at Milton Keynes on Sunday 17th March.
