...and the sun came out to show us north. There were over 100 enthusiastic faces waiting to orienteer at the Sydney West Orienteering Championships. Ted Mulherin (WH) had set up dozens of variations of courses so that each competitor could experience all sorts of features, including termite mounds. The fantastic volunteers from ONSW warmed the children up with a model map walk which was followed by individual age races.
Glenmore Park HS's 16+Boys were there to win - again. After winning their age races and the Senior Boys Relays, they declared themselves ready for the NSW Schools Champs in August. Kingswood HS was on their heels, taking out all the other secondary honours. Their training at Glenbrook with Lyn Malmgron certainly paid off. Kurrajong PS and Kellyville Ridge PS excitedly took back to school orienteering sample bags as well as place certificates.
Thanks to Lyn Malmgron for this report
