This was Rolf\u2019s first time joining the team and competing in a competitive event, and he approached the experience with confidence and maturity. He demonstrated great resilience and maintained a very positive attitude throughout the day. Aaron competed in a higher age group, which presented a significantly greater challenge. Despite this, he delivered some impressive personal-best performances and showed excellent sportsmanship by enthusiastically supporting and encouraging his school team. Both Ruairidh and Rolf achieved podium finishes in the U10 category:<\/p>\n<p>Ruairidh \ud83e\udd48<br \/>\nRolf \ud83e\udd49<\/p>\n<p>Well done to the team for their effort, attitude, and conduct
