The junior boys team (pictured Left) headed to the Waikato/BOP Champs on a high after sweeping out the Bays two weeks prior. The track was fast, this was obvious when the juniors sprinted off at the start to gain early position. The race was tight, spreading out as the race went on. At the front was Scott and Jacob (Hamilton Boys’), two rivals with Scott winning the last race. Brad and Javahn were tight together in the third and fourth spots. This went on for most of the race until Jacob made a break at around one kilometre to go. Scott came in second with a clear lead on Brad and Javahn. Third was Brad with only a 10m lead on Javahn who was fourth. Overall it was a strong race from the boys with almost half placing in the top 20.
