Wellington High School students vs Kapiti College.
Three judges were present to mark the skaters as they went through their routines.  Each skater had two heats and a group of finalists were selected for the final skate off.

The winners were:
1st – Kapiti College             2nd – Jade Michalick, WHS         3rd – Billy Papatsoumas, WHS

Prizes were provided by Cheapskates to the top 3 skaters. 

This was a fantastic event and special mention must go to teacher Tim Gibbs for the organisation.  It will definitely be repeated in 2010.
