The 2022 Tasmanian All Schools XC MTB Championships brought success for Don College student, Harvey Lee, who placed third in the competition's under 19s category. 

After a strong start out in front of the other riders, Harvey landed some bad luck with a flat tyre. With a quick repair, he was off again and Harvey soon made up for lost time, making his way back among the top competitors in the race.

The competition was held on May 5 in Launceston. 

Well done to Harvey, this is an excellent achievement and demonstration of resilience and determination.
