2013 is an exciting year for Tetrathlon in WA with
an Invitational Tetrathlon competition being held in
Perth in conjunction with the Pony Club Association
National Championships in September this year.
Tetrathlon is a unique sport that involves four phases
running, shooting, swimming and a ridden cross
country phase. It is based on the Olympic sport of
Modern Pentathlon (fencing omitted).
The 2013 PCAWA State Championship event was held
at Log Fence Pony Club, Yarloop for the first time. This
small club has fantastic facilities and a hard working
committee and the result was a great weekend for
all competitors. With everyone vying for a spot on
the State Invitational Tetrathlon Team, competition
was tough and results were outstanding, showing
that the young athletes had put in months of hard
training. For the full report see June/July issue of WA
Show Scene.
