| They're a tiny school with a lot of spirit - and yesterday Matakana Island's children and hundreds of other kids put their hearts into the Bay's intermediate quadathlon. |
| This is the first year Matakana had entered the competition - a 100m swim and 200m kayak into Pilot Bay, followed by a 6km bike ride and a 2km run. |
| Matakana had six in its overall team, four of whom competed in the multisport challenge. |
