Eleven NSW orienteers took out their age classes at the big Easter carnival in South Australia.
Multiple medals went to the Enderby, Woolford, Marsh, Barbour, Freeman, Blatchford, Iskhakov, Morris, Schafer and Rothery families.
Nicola Blatchford (NC) and Aidan Dawson (GO) cemented their spots in the Australian team for the junior world championships in Norway in July with podium finishes across the 4 days of elite competition.
Big Foot came third in the champion club competition (decided by results in the Long distance event on Sunday), relinquishing the trophy they won last year at Clandulla on home soil.
And in a promising sign, NSW sub-juniors took out the first four places in the MW10 Novice class!
There were lots of compliments from many people on the outstanding organisation by Orienteering South Australia and great courses in delightful outback terrain for each of the 4 days.
Results from all 4 days are here. There are lots of photos on the OA Facebook page and from Tony Hill.
