Clear mapping of the UWS Hawkesbury campus and cool dry running conditions allowed competitors in the NSW Sprint Championships this weekend to really stretch their legs. There were some super quick times at this classic sprint, with a few of the competitors clocking speeds close to those being run at the World Orienteering Championships. Josh Blatchford won the M21A course in 12.32, a pace of 4.38/km, with Matt Hill in M18A, Aidan Dawson in M16A and Jock Davis on M40A courses running at around 5 mins/km. Bruce Meder running M60A clocked a speed of 5.22mins/km.
