Over the last week, Newington College has two competitors going up against the best skiers and boarders in the country at the 2013 Australian National Snowsports Championships. After qualifying first through the Sydney Championships then the NSW Championships, both Flynn Gannon (4/HO) and Sam Martin (5/WI) flew the flag for Newington College at a very barren Mount Buller course. Flynn was competing in both the Snowboard GS and Snowboard Cross events and ended up finishing an impressive 12th and 13th in the country respectively. Sam was competing in the difficult discipline of Moguls where he also achieved the impressive result of 12th overall. Despite being up against poor conditions and some very impressive opposition both these boys are to be commended for their efforts against the best young Snowsports talent in Australia. Well done boys!
