Stinger of the Month for March will be a popular choice - Josh Blatchford. A very generous spirit, he is unstinting in his support of the NSW Junior Squad, helping with coaching at camps and training events. Highly approachable his relaxed yet focussed manner make him a great role model.
Coming back into form after injury last season he posted a 5th in the Sprint Final in the recent National Orienteering League in South Australia. A bit more distance gave him some time to hunt down the pack and he took a terrific 2nd in the Long Distance at the same NOL.
Along with a large contingent of other Stingers, Josh will be back in action down in Victoria this Easter weekend. We will be looking forward to cheering him on, and hoping he can gather in more of these placings to build his case for a spot on the 2013 World Orienteering Championships team for Australia. With his Stinger of the Month pack from Endura he'll be all set for great results!
