Eight NSW orienteers have finished 2015 ranked No.1 in their age groups in Australia, and a further 20 achieved a top 3 status.
Eric Morris (M45, BN), Greg Barbour (M50, BF), Mikayla Enderby (W12, NC), Anna Fitzgerald (W35, GS), Tracy Marsh (W40, BF), Jenny Enderby (W45, NC), Val Hodsdon (W65, SH) and Jenny Hawkins (W70, NT) each finished on top of their classes nationally.
The standings are based on results from the Oceania championships in Tasmania in January, the Easter carnival in South Australia in April, and the Australian championships in Victoria in September-October.
Ten orienteers were ranked second, and another ten ranked third. These are excellent results given none of the three major carnivals were conducted in NSW.

Congratulations to all who travelled far and wide to compete. In 2016 Easter is in the ACT and the Australian championships are in south-east Queensland.
