Newcastle's Jenny Enderby shone through the mud as the remnants of Cyclone Debbie left their mark on the opening Sprint event at the 2017 Oceania championships in Auckland.
Beneath sunny skies, more than 1,800 orienteers slopped wet ground at the Unitec campus on Good Friday in an unusually grinding start to the 4-day carnival.
Jenny Enderby won W45A by a comfortable 31 seconds, while Amy Harmer (Western & Hills) was the only entrant in W21AS and by finishing her course also took first place.

1st place: W45A Jenny Enderby (Newcastle), W21AS Amy Harmer (WHO)
