Cooper Horley named Rookie of the Year
- Last Updated: Wednesday, 13 January 2021 21:57
Garingal tyro Cooper Horley has added the 2020 NSW Rookie of the Year award to his rapidly expanding orienteering resume.
In 2019 he was a member of the triumphant NSW school team that won the national title for the first time in 17 years.
And Cooper last year won the individual medal in Division 2 of the Sydney Metro League, running Hard courses despite being only in Year 8 and his second year in the sport.
This summer he has been regularly finishing in the top 10 scorers each week in the Sydney Summer Series, showing some serious speed and skill.
Congratulations Cooper!
Our 2020 presentation day was cancelled due to the covid outbreak over Christmas, so we rolling out the awards as we get through this holiday period and when the winners are at events. More coming soon!

Our first MTBO (mountain bike orienteering) event for 2021 is on Sunday morning at Killingworth in Newcastle.
The BOSS (Bike Orienteering Summer Series) is booming and we are delighted to add a special arrangement for families whereby a parent can ride early, then go out again with the kids.
See the flyer for details. This is so much fun and a great school holiday activity for children of all ages.
Solo riders have the choice of a line course then a score course (this option is for serious riders) or a score course, both with a time limit of 75 minutes.
Our dedicated MTBO web page has been updated. More links will be added as information comes to hand.
