Skill on two wheels
FOUR Camperdown College students have showed their skills on two wheels, competing in the Victorian Interschool Cycling Series.
The four – Bentley Currell and Oliver, Quinn and Lawson Clark, competed in the demanding 8-10 kilometre criterium in Belmont last weekend.
The competition was one of eight events held across summer as part of the Aus Cycling interschool program.
Last weekend’s criterium was a fast-paced race that requires high intensity over a short timeframe.
The tight circuit challenged riders, with sharp turns taken at speed, and sprint finishes while overtaking competitors ahead.
“For all four students, this was their first time competing in a criterium event,” Camperdown College principal Vicki Angus said.

“The focus was on enjoying the experience while developing new cycling skills.”
Lawson competed in the D junior event and finished seventh out of 13 riders.
Bentley rode strong to finish fifth out of 14 competitors, while both Quinn and Oliver competed in the D group seniors’ race – Quinn placed eighth in a field of 18 while Oliver finished strongly to take first place.
“It was fantastic to see Camperdown College competing confidently against much larger government and non-government schools,” Ms Angus said.
“The college community is immensely proud of them all for their efforts, sportsmanship and willingness to challenge themselves by taking on a new race format.”
