Today wraps up the final Interschools Regional Championships in Falls Creek where 139 school students from 14 Regional NSW schools competed over five days totalling 340 entries.

The Falls Creek Schools Carnival hosted a variety of individual and team events open to school aged competitors including the Amelia McGuiness Memorial Foundation Time Trials.

“We were blessed with five days of sunny weather in Falls Creek for the last of our Regional Championships” said Steve Cooper, Snow Australia National Interschools Chair. “It is fantastic to see the growth in Interschools participation."

In July, Thredbo, Perisher, and Falls Creek has hosted the Regional Championships series which has seen participation from:

• Six States and Territories (NSW, ACT, QLD, SA, TAS, WA) 

• 19 event days

• Close to 4,000 school students

• 412 schools 

• 7,370 entries

Amelia McGuiness Foundation Time Trials kicked off the week where the annual fundraiser saw 125 racers compete in Alpine and Snowboard GS. The McGuiness family were on hand for the presentation of medals to the top 3 place getters in each division. 

The week also incorporated the hosting of the Australia Secondary Schools Snowsports Team Championships (ASSSTC), an annual snowsport event which enables secondary school students to compete for their school as a team to earn points across multiple disciplines including Alpine and Snowboard GS, Ski Cross, Snowboard Cross and Cross Country Classic and Freestyle Relay events. 

We now look to the Victoria Cross Country State Championships this Sunday at Mt Buller where 348 students from 49 schools will compete.

Later this month the State Championships will be held in both Mt Buller and Perisher ahead of the Australian Championships September 3 to 8 in Perisher.
