The juniors had another good showing on Sunday. The fast area suited speedy Steph who won the womens course for the second week in a row. She beat Tania by over a minute. Salome had another good run to take third place and Sarah managed 5th.
The mens results were close at the top of the board. Bradley was less than 30 seconds behind winner Garry. Coach Nic and Mike were 2 seconds apart in 4th and 5th place respectively.
Next weekend is MTB-O at Groenkloof and on the 14th of Feb we head to Brescia House. See everyone there!

JHB Zoo
The juniors had a good showing at the Zoo.
Steph certainly didn't stop to look at the animals as she raced to victory on the womens course. She won by a minute and a half. Salome came 2nd beating Tania by just under a minute.
On the mens course Mike had a good run to come 5th in the competitive field and J.P managed 10th place. Manager Alex won the course.
So a good start to the Short Course Series for most of the JWOC team. Exciting times ahead...

Sabie/ Dullstroom
2010 got off to a great start with 2 days of Orienteering on the 9th and 10th of January. Saturday's training was held at Klipkraal in Sabie and the South Africans performed well. The Senior men including Coach Nicholas and Manager Alex weren't far behind some big names.
It was great to have most of the junior team at the training. Brad had a good run on the Blue course. Jess H, Sarah, Anthony, J.P and Mike also completed the Blue course. Salome and Zoe ran the green course.
Sunday's training was held in Dullstroom and the Finns and Swiss cruised around town. The juniors had decent performances, but had to rely on the lucky draw for a snack for the journey home.

Sprint Cup
The juniors finished the year on a brilliant note.
Salome and Brad were the top South Africans. Brad started the Final about 4 minutes behind some experienced seniors, but passed them to finish just ahead of team manager Alex. Salome started the Final about a minute behind Sarah, but caught her quickly and cruised into the finish with Jess L, who had a great run, close behind. Steph and Mike also tackled the courses at Kloofendal Nature Reserve.
Three Finns came to the event and blitzed round the courses. Wow!
Thanks for supporting the tuckshop!

Thanks to everyone who came. Hope you enjoyed your present.
See you at the Sprint Cup.

GOC relay
AR club organized a brilliant inter-club relay. The spectator control made it fun to watch and Saint Stithians was a great venue. It was fast but had a few tricky sections.
In the junior category Josh, Zoe and Jess H were the fastest team. The second junior team contained Jess L, Heather and Christie. Salome and Steph were in the winning woman's team:
Mike ran a good first leg to help the Witsoc team come 2nd overall. Sarah ran for the ROC open team which came third and Brad ran the last leg for RACO's open team:
It was good to see the mothers fundraising, preparing for next year. Denise was also a rather active supporter:
So a good showing from the juniors at the last major O' event of the year. Hope to see everyone at the GOC lunch, Rogaine, MTB-O and most importantly the Christmas event!
