Orienteering Teams 2nd and 3rd after Day One

Austin and Josh thrilled to finish the long course

After Day One of the Canterbury Schools' Orienteering Festival, the Fendalton Girls' team lies second and the Boys' team lies 3rd=. We had the biggest entry of all the schools involved at the Long Course Championships at Bottle Lake Forest yesterday.

The children found the course challenging but all of them eventually emerged from the forest with smiles on their red faces due to the very warm conditions. Our top performers yesterday in the boys' were Toby W taking 7th (18.39) and Jack M 8th (19.14) out of 41 finishers over the 1.9km course of 15 controls. Our top girls were Olivia M/Jordyn B in 9th (25.26) and Felicity vdP /Isabella G 10th (27.21) out of the 35 finishers.

Today are the Short Course Championships at Halswell Quarry.
