Curro Cup MTB regional challenge a success
Over 90 learners from 12 primary schools and eight high schools across the region put their foot on the pedal for the second-ever Curro Cup MTB challenge.
Following a successful start in Cape Town, the second leg of the Curro Cup Mountain Bike Challenge took place in Gauteng on March 12.
Over 90 learners from 12 primary schools and eight high schools across the region put their foot on the pedal for the second-ever inter-school sports challenge.
Curro Aurora Independent School took home the greatest number of wins, with Gemma Guebert taking the top spot in the girls sprog category (11-12 years) and Josh Dike triumphing in the junior men (17-19 years) category.
The school also came out on top for the best girls’ team (primary), best-mixed team (primary), best boys team(high school) and best overall team (high school).
Two other Curro schools also deserve a worthy mention, Curro Academy The Blyde came out on top for the best boys team (primary) and Curro Academy Wilgeheuwel for the best overall team (primary).
The Curro Cup aims to highlight and celebrate the independent school group’s best sports stars and teams across 12 sporting codes, including athletics, rugby, netball, hockey and eSports, swimming, golf and mountain biking.
As part of the mountain biking competition, riders pursue a short, marked course, undertaking a varied number of laps depending on their chosen race category.
The final leg of the Mountain Biking Challenges is scheduled to take place in Durban later this month.
