Wodonga Summer Biathlon a blast!

June 10, 2016 · by Australian Biathlon

Paul and Lynn-Maree Cullen ran the final pre-winter Mountain Bike Summer Biathlon event at Wodonga, here is their report:

“These are some photos captured from the final event held at Wodonga Sporting Shooters Association Range recently, shooting both .22 and laser rifles.

On the day we had a total of 15 competitors spanning junior and senior participants. We were supported with great weather on the day and a good number of hands on deck to support the event.

We had participants from as far as Alexandra and Bendigo travel to Wodonga for the event which is great!

At 15 competitors it was one of our best supported events in some time. The theme for this particular event was a school competition where kids were put into teams representing the schools they were from. The results on the day for both high school and junior school teams are detailed in the tables below.

A big thank you to the Australian Biathlon Association too for its ongoing support and investment in these events. A key enabler for the success of these grass root/development events. The medals were sought after and proudly worn by those that won them on the day! As the attached photos show the spot prizes were also very popular!

Mountain bike biathlon | NE Vic Schools Summer Biathlon Relay Championships!

May 25, 2015 · by Australian Biathlon

In the starters hands

On Saturday, participants enjoyed the Autumn sunshine for the latest Wodonga Region biathlon event, the NE Vic Schools Summer Biathlon Relay Championships. Boys and girls came from schools in New South Wales as well as Victoria.

Laser shooters first leg of relay

Once again, this popular mountain bike biathlon event took place at the Sporting Shooters Association of Australia (SSAA) Range at Klinges Road, Wodonga.

Biathlon events were a “co-production” by Australian Biathlon and Telemark Nordic Ski Club.

Zeroing on the .22 range

Primary and Secondary School Teams of two had great fun, with participants taking part in two age groups; those under 12 who did laser biathlon using the Larsen Laser Training System, and those over 12, who used regular .22 rifles.

There was a 50/50 split between boys and girls.

Winner of the Snow Trek and Travel Perpetual Trophy for Champion Primary School was Victory Lutheran College.

At the end of the day, everyone went home after a great experience, fired up for this year’s North East Victoria Interschools Competition on 3rd of June. We expect 90-100 participants for that event. In recent weeks, 50 plus athletes have been taking part in after school biathlon training on Wednesdays at SSAA, in the lead up to these NE Vic events.
