Toby Wilson, member of Garingal Orienteers and the NSW Carbines, has received a Local Sporting Champion award in recognition of his commitment to his orienteering.
Toby Wilson is a regular competitor in the State League events, and has represented NSW in the Junior Boys team in 2010 and 2011. He was delighted to receive his award which supports his participation in the 2011 Schools Championship and Australian Championship Carnival which was a multi-location event with competitions in ACT, NSW and Victoria.
Toby said 'it was great to get the award, as participating in the Schools Championship really helped with my orienteering and has built my confidence. Since the Championships I have been to the NSW Carbines Christmas training camp, and then onto the Christmas 5 day Carnival on the Central Coast. All that is setting me up well for what I want from my orienteering this year - a place on the NSW Schools team again and a trip to try out the orienteering in Tasmania.'
NSW junior orienteers have been fortunate with the Local Sporting Champion awards scheme, with Toby being the third member of our schools team member being granted an award to help with their orienteering training.
