Our NSW Sprint Champs put a big exclamation mark on the end of a big State League for 2017 with an awesome new map at PLC Pymble.
Carol Jacobson's masterpiece, brought to life by course setters Matthew and Barbara Hill, required intense concentration on every part of every leg to be a fitting finale to our peak competition.
The event drew ACT O royalty in open elite winners Martin Dent and Shannon Jones.
What a massive year it has been for ONSW: hosting the Australian 3-Days, then the Aus champs in Foot-O and MTBO over a fortnight.
Sunday continued the event management excellence with a charity event in conjunction. It was great to see orienteering supporting the community with all proceeds from the event going to the Sydney Children's Hospital at Westmead.
A small army of helpers and sponsors ensured a seamless, picture-perfect day in beautiful surrounds. The PLC students who had a run later remarked that they were unaware of just how much complex the campus is. We also thank the Member for Kuring-gai, Alister Henskens, for presenting the placegetters with their awards.
Thank you also to Pymble Ladies' College for providing the beautiful venue and many year 9 students to help on the day; 1st Pymble Scouts for the catering; St John's Ambulance for being on standby; and the long list of sponsors who contributed to the event.
Our SL web page has links to Sunday's results, Winsplits and Routegadget.
And please take two minutes to fill out the brief course survey. Feedback is important for setters and controllers and, more importantly, determines who wins the prestigious Course Setter of the Year award.
