Ryan Dingle: ( most improved and most outstanding)

Ryan stepped up to the long course this year and recorded 3 wins and one 2^nd. He won the Triathlon club champs along with the secondary schools Triathlon and Duathlon titles. 

At National level Ryan has represented NZ for the past 3 years at the world age group championships.  Ryan has shown improvement at this level also, with his sprint distance times getting faster each season.  Despite bad mechanical luck at Kinloch this year, he has qualified for the World Championships again in Auckland. He was also 8th U19 male at the National Secondary School Championships.

Jessica Leary: (Most improved)

Jess continues to be a consistent and leading performer in the junior female category.  This year she won the Taranaki Secondary Schools Champs and placed 10th in her class at the National Sprint Champs in Kinloch.  She has once again won the club points trophies for both triathlon and duathlon with improving performances.

Jeff McGrath: (most outstanding)

Jeff continues to perform at the highest level for his age group.  This year he won a few of our club races along with the points trophy.  His main season aim of Ironman started with a 2nd in age group and 18th overall at the Taupo half Ironman followed by an equally impressive 3rd in age group and 24th overall at the Tauranga half Ironman  with a time of 4hrs 21.  At Ironman NZ he finished 3rd in his age group and 46th overall to earn another qualification spot for the Ironman World Champs in Hawaii.  We wish Jeff well in his build up for Kona in October.  

Shannon Stallard: (most outstanding)

While Shannon couldn't make it to our races this year, he was a paid member. Shannon is a former age group Olympic and Sprint Distance champion and in the past season has been racing around the world as a professional, with a top 5 and top 10 placing at 70.3 events across America.  Back home he placed 4th professional overall at the Tauranga half Ironman and 10th at Ironman New Zealand.

Emma Daniels: (most improved)

Emma has shaved 2-3 mins off each race appearance when compared to last year. She has pushed the junior males all season, and just edged ahead to be the fastest junior in her most recent club race at Ngamotu. She also showed a similar time improvement at Kinloch, going from  a very credible 7^th last year,  to win her class this year.

 Eliot Lundon-Moore: (most improved)

Eliot is relatively new to the sport, but has showed improvements worthy of mention even in his first year. He has participated in the junior academy training sessions and improved in his class during the season. He finished first in the junior male class at his most recent club event in Ngamotu.

 Shorty Clark:  (most outstanding)

Shorty has been a consistent triathlete, and very supportive club member for a number of years. He has a long list of impressive results. In the past season Shorty was placed in veteran male class at each club event he entered, and won his class at every Contact tri event he entered, including gold at the Tri NZ Olympic distance champs in Wellington

Tony Brownrigg: (most improved)

This season improved times and consistently improved swim splits have seen Tony have his most successful season. Tony qualified for the Olympic distance age group team for the World Champs in a very competitive age group and he won the Duathlon Club Champs.  

 Joy Baker: (most outstanding)

Joy has excelled this season, dominating her age group at the sprint distance nationals and placing second at the Olympic distance.  Her bronze medal at the 2011 World Age Group Champs in Beijing was the highest accolade of her season and an outstanding achievement.

 Edward Rawles:  (most outstanding)

Edward continues to excel nationally, finishing second in the elite race around the streets of Takapuna and 3^rd in the U23 Oceania Sprint champs. Edward also competed in several International triathlons with his best result being 31^st at the 2012 Mooloolaba ITU Triathlon Premium Oceania Cup.
