A reminder that entries to the NSW Sprint Champs close this Wednesday (July 18).
The awesome UNSW map is a densely built university campus with a varied landscape and architecture. There are many staircases, passageways and canopies. It will be intense navigation and a great challenge regardless of your speed.
All controls will be Air+ enabled so bring your SIAC stick if you have one.
Please note that there will be no Very Easy course - but parents are welcome to shadow children in the 10A classes around the Easy course. Please do this after you have run your own course.
Enter-on-day will be available on Hard, Moderate and Easy courses.
Don't forget this event offers double points in the Orienteer of the Year standings.
We look forward to an exciting day of Sprint orienteering on Sunday July 29.
Meanwhile, our Newcastle club started their preparations for the champs with a weekend of four sprints.
Saturday saw events at St Philips College, Nulkaba and Kurri Kurri TAFE. Sunday it was closer to town, with both races at Heaton PS/Callaghan College Campus.
Points were awarded for placings, rather cumulative times, and a person's best three scores counted. When the numbers were crunched, all four winners were from the host club:
Women's Boxers (shorter course) – Erika Enderby
Women's Boardies (longer course) – Jenny Enderby
Mens's Boxers – Kendall O'Connor
Mens' Boardies – Rob Bennett (pictured)
