Kiwis Top in Australia

Oceania MTBO Championship 14-16 Oct 2011

Kiwis have always been attracted to the Australian Champs and this year's events in Victoria carried the "Oceania" label. Marquita Gelderman continues to dominate the womens elite class, and Pete Swanson (M40) was the other kiwi to be unbeaten over middle, sprint and long distances. And kiwis won all W50 and M60 titles though the lead was shared round.

Most of the kiwis then went on to the 2-day NSW Champs, and got more good results there. Rob Garden (M60) and Alison McDonald (W50)won both their races. These results have been added into the table below. Full results here.
