British Schoolboys' Races 2011

The Wellington Boys' Ski Team, comprising Joseph Rossi (captain), Austin Curtis, Silas Curtis and Ruari (Rory) Hutchinson, have just returned from the British Boys' Races in Switzerland having achieved phenomenal success.

On an individual basis Joseph Rossi placed 1st, taking the Gold Medal for combined Slalom and Giant Slalom in his age and race category and finishing 24th out of 168 racers.  Silas Curtis put in a particularly impressive performance too placing 26th (out of 168) and beating many boys older than himself to achieve this position.

These individual performances, combined with fast times from Austin Curtis and Ruari Hutchinson in Giant Slalom and Slalom respectively meant that overall the team placed 9th (out of 33);  a well deserved victory after 4 days of hard training and racing for the team
