Year 13 student, Phoenix Reid, was recently interviewed by the Manawatu Standard for her outstanding success in Artistic Roller Skating. Click here to read the full Stuff article.

Phoenix has qualified to compete for what could be her first chance to represent New Zealand at the world championships in France in October. The final qualifying tests will be open to the public and held in Palmerston North on April 20 to 22, at the Central Energy Trust Arena. This is in addition to having recently competed at the America's Cup Skating Competition in USA (gaining 5 medals in total) and at the Oceania Artistic Roller Skating Championships in Brisbane in September (gaining 3 silvers). 

Well done, Phoenix! You should be very proud of your achievements. (Photo credit David Unwin, Stuff)
