Junior Solar Sprint 2009
The 2009 JSS event was held Saturday 16 May, 2009, thanks to the good timing of the event which coincided with a break in rainy, overcast weather (just as in 2008!). The race held in full sun for most of the time and we had a great turnout and creative participation.
BASEA sincerely thanks all participating students, teachers, schools, parents and helpful volunteers who, working together, made for a really good experience.
We will post on these pages race results as they are compiled.
