Ben and Hunter Werthmuller fought it out for first place in the Hunterville Junior Shemozzle on Saturday. Ben had won the 2008 and 2009 Shemozzle but it was his younger brother Hunter who took the honours on the day. “I was rapt for Hunter,” Ben said. “The best man won on the day and if I had to lose to someone who better than my own brother!” Ben and Hunter were also running for the Huntley School Team on the day and the third place getter was Jack Kinder, also from Huntley. “We have always supported the Shemozzle as sponsors but due to other sporting clashes we have never been in a position to enter a team. It was quite exciting to see the boys win it on their first attempt,” said Headmaster Brad Gay. The boys will want to give it another go next year and defend their title.
As a school we have been focusing more on multi sport events such as triathlons, duathlons and cycling. This year we entered the National Road Cycling Championships for the second time and managed a creditable 5th in New Zealand. Multi sport is another option for the boys who can do it alongside their current winter and summer sports. The Shemozzle is a fun event but the boys certainly give it their all. Hunter can’t wait to try his new Giant mountain bike on the Huntley School bike track. No doubt Ben will be on hand to take photos with the new camera he won!
