He’s Learning to Live and Lead
2011 Victorian Interschool Snow Sports De La Salle College was again represented at this years Snow Sports Championships at Mt Buller, from 19th August to 23rd August with 18 students from Years 7 to 12 competing. The boys competed in both the Snowboard and Alpine Skiing Giant Slalom events. Each boy was entered into an event in which he completed two runs of the slalom course on Little Buller Spur. These two runs were timed and their final result was calculated as an average of the two runs. All the boys completed the course and are named below in their divisions. Alpine Giant Slalom
- Division 1 Boys - Elliot Tamplin, Phillip Stevens, Alex Chaplin - Division 2 Boys - Jack Reeve, Sebastian Otten, Pierluigi Grech - Division 3 Boys - Will Jones, Callum Brace, Remo Checcucci
Snowboard Giant Slalom - Division 1 Boys - Stuart Brennan-Smith, Joseph Maccora, Ryan Moody, Oliver Jones - Division 2 Boys - Harrison Tailby, Kieran Johnson, Jake Pirovano, Ben Tamplin, Brendan Simon
The competition has the largest number of competitors of any winter sports event in the world. It is fantastic that De La Salle is part of this inaugural event. All the boys who represent the College competed to the best of their ability and were very competitive. Particular mention must go to Harrison Tailby who came 18th out of 113 competitors and Jack Reeve who came 45th out of 152 competitors. I would like to congratulate the boys on their performance and encourage them to return next season to compete. For the College to compete in this event, a great deal of preparation and planning is necessary. I would like to thank the College for putting their full support behind the Ski Team and a special thanks go to staff members: Mr Shane Slavin, Mr Peter Harte and Mr Simon Brown for their time and effort. Mr Ken Stokes Ski Team Coordinator
