The Waikato Schools MX Challenge took place at the Patetonga Motorcycle Club on March 28-29. Students from 33 schools across the region zoomed around the muddy and hilly terrain in an exciting, adrenaline-filled series of races. Among the competitors tackling the tight turns and thrilling jumps were several students from across the Hauraki, with Paeroa College taking home the win, and Hauraki Plains College placing fourth. Reporter ALICE PARMINTER took to the track to catch the dust-filled action.
