Sprint Orienteering

Jacob and Fergus did a superb time in the Sprint event

Moe and Liam, some of the youngest competitors competing

Another successful day today for the FOS orienteers, this time at Halswell Quarry for the Sprints event. We again had the biggest representation from any school and all children did extremely well as they had either 20 (boys) or 25 (girls) controls to find. Sam B and Ben H were tentatively in 5th place in the Boys' recording just over 12 minutes! With their performance it looks like the boys should take 3rd in the teams' race and some strong girls' results again should see them retain their second place. Congratulations to Redcliffs School who easily won both Year 6 and under grades.

Well done to all of our competitors, ranging from Year 2 to Year 6 children. Thanks to Mrs Williamson and Mrs Husband for their help today also and of course to the parents, many who had to shadow their children...and came back looking puffed! Full results should be on soon at paponz.org
