Details
Last Updated: Saturday, 22 June 2019 21:46
Students from seven of our clubs are in the 2019 NSW Schools team (the Carbines) for the Australian championships in Wagga Wagga in the October holidays.
 
There are five new faces: Selwyn Sweeney (Western & Hills) and Cameron Will (Illawarra Kareelah, pictured top) in the senior boys, Cooper Horley (Garingal) in the junior boys, and Erika Enderby (Newcastle, pictured below) and Martine Valais (WHO) in the junior girls.
 
A team of 20 has been selected, the maximum allowed. The strong family element of orienteering is reflected in there being three sets of siblings in the team.
 

Congratulations to the following students upon their selection:

Senior Girls: Niamh Cassar (WH), Ellen Currie (GO), Tshinta Hopper (BN), Andra Leung (GO) 

Senior Boys: Ewan Shingler (BF), Oscar Woolford (BB), Selwyn Sweeney (WH), Cameron Will (IK)

Junior Girls: Erika Enderby (NC), Mikayla Enderby (NC), Iida Lehtonen (GO), Nea Shingler (BF), Julia Barbour (BF), Martine Valais (WH)

Junior Boys: Alvin Craig (NC), Oskar Mella (NC), Sam Woolford (BB), Jamie Woolford (BB), Oliver Freeman (BF), Cooper Horley (GO) 

All selected will travel with the team to the Riverina and run in the three schools championship events from October 1-3 (Sprint, Individual and Relay), while also competing in the other major events on both weekends of the carnival.

Manager Damien Enderby will be in contact with team members to co-ordinate travelling arrangements.

ONSW thanks selectors Jock Davis, Hilary Wood and Rob Bennett for their time and energy spent in this important role, and to the Carbine Club for their generous financial support.
