🚴‍♂️🏅Supporting Tomorrow's Cycling Champions 🚴‍♂️🏅
Each year, Plus Finance + Investments, in conjunction with the Grassroots Velodrome team, awards Rider Assistance Scholarships to help support young cyclists and encourage them to pursue their passion for this great sport.
One of last year's recipients used their scholarship towards coaching and bike-related costs. Combined with the rider's passion, perseverance, and the support of their parents and the Grassroots Velodrome team, it has culminated in an incredible year of success.
At the recent North Island Schools Track Championships, this young rider won every event they entered to take the overall Omnium title for under 13, and was part of the winning team sprint and team pursuit teams, while also setting a new New Zealand record in the Standing 250m event.
It's incredibly rewarding to see young athletes achieving such outstanding results through hard work, dedication and the support of those around them.
A huge congratulations to Pippa, and to everyone who has supported her throughout her journey.
We look forward to awarding this year's scholarships and supporting more young riders as they pursue their own passion for cycling.
