Back: Sarah Lees, Tom Sherson, Madalyne Chamberlain Middle: Katie Conroy, Molly Holloway, Dougal Logan, Brianna Still Front: Philippa Williamson, Mark Hogg, Samantha Williamson, Anna Hogg, Emma Hayes Absent: Aaron Harwood, Gelzen Jefferies, Hannah Scott The highlight of the year was Mark Hogg (Year 12), Samantha Williamson (Year 11), Anna Hogg (Year 9), Sarah Lees (Year 8) and Katie Conroy (Year 7) competing in Australia. The five students spent two weeks as part of New Zealand’s only Junior Nordic Ski Team competing in two events with some fantastic results. In their respective categories at the Australian Championships Katie and Anna were placed 1st, and Sam and Mark were placed 2nd. Sarah was placed 3rd in the Freestyle Race. The following day, Sarah was placed 1st, Anna was placed 2nd, Katie was placed 3rd and Sam and Mark were placed 4th in their respective categories in the Australian Championship Classic Race. The students then competed in the Australian Joey Hoppet (7 k) and out of over 800 competitors, Mark Hogg was the top placed man and Anna and Sam were 2nd and 3rd placed women! In earlier New Zealand races Anna and Sam were first and second in the Under 20 Female race, and Anna’s time was faster than the Open Women winner! Mark won the Open Men section. In addition to training at the Snowfarm every weekend and Thursday afternoon over the winter, the Nordic Ski Academy students have been in training for this event since the start of the year. Training has included circuits on the field, bike rides, pool and lake training, runs up Mount Roy and various weekend tramping trips. Given the above results it certainly appears that all the dedication and commitment of the students has been rewarded! 74
The 2005/2006 summer was an excellent one for cricket at the college. Mount Aspiring College formally entered into a relationship with the Albion Cricket Club which has been hugely beneficial in terms of funding and coaching support. As a college we would like to acknowledge Mike O’Connor who has such passion for the game and supporting our students. Mike has helped lift the profile of cricket and the future looks very bright indeed. MAC students were fielded (excuse the pun) in the Albion CC Senior Reserve and Senior teams as well as: Year 7&8 Coached by Mike O’Connor, the team had a great season but the highlight was reaching the semi-final of the Milo Cup. This was the first time a MAC team had entered this competition and the team should be proud of their achievements. Tim Cotter, Callan O’Connor and Caywood Hesson had outstanding seasons with both bat and ball. Year 9&10 Coached by Tom Topping and assisted by Bill Brooker these cricketers played in a CO afternoon competition and performed very well. Hugo Topping was a competent captain and performed consistently throughout the season. MAC 1st X1 The team successfully defended their CO Champions trophy, ending the season undefeated. They played superbly as a team but the bowling of Ella Brockelsby and the batting of Miles Topping and Mitch Bosley was outstanding. Mitch has captained the team for 3 seasons and ended his MAC career with 203 not out becoming the first MAC student to score a double hundred. MAC Girls 1st X1 The team played one game this season against Dunstan HS whom they defeated convincingly. The highlight was Kimberley O’Connor who scored a century, which was also a first for a MAC female student. Individual Highlights Caywood Hesson/Callan O’Connor - CO ‘A’ team Tim Cotter – CO ‘B’ team Kimberley O’Connor: Maiden century for the 1st X1 Girls’ team, CO U14 Girls’ team, CO Women Miles Topping: Albion CC Senior Reserve Batsman of the Year, 2 centuries for the MAC 1st X1 Mitch Bosley: Albion CC Player of the Year, 2 centuries and 203 NO in the CO 1ST X1 final, CO U19 and CO Men Our thanks to the many supporters we have and we look forward to next season. 75
