Another great weekend put on by the Sundre club! Thank you Keegan, Nate and the Hendricksons for hosting the events and providing delicious food.
The 3on3 polo tournament ran smoothly and all the team were amazingly well balanced, which made of a lot of exciting games. In the end the 3 Amigos (Darius, Katie and Chris) won the spoils with an effective defense and superior fire power over the Jazz Trio (Graham, Neil, Lauren). The Tyranosaurs won the bronze medal game over the A-Team.
In the head-to-head slalom races there was tight competition all around. As you can see in the results many people upped their game as the event progressed into the elimination rounds. Coach Mike narrowly fended of Graham in the senior Final. He then had to defend the seniors honour against the juniors by racing Darius. Coach Mike said 'I saw Darius doing those perfect turns out there in his other races, so I knew it would be tight. I just had to rely on Old Man strength to get me through'. And it did.
The other excitement was the C2 races. Random teams jumped in boats and gave it a go. The early surprise was Keegan and Nate who had an early lead after the qulification rounds. But then disaster struck in the semis, with them leading Misha and Mike, and the boat capsized at the last gate. M & M edged out Darius and Ben, with Shylo and Hanna right behind.
Till next year, keep up the fitness and work on those ball and gate skills!
