WORLD SPRINT CHAMPIONSHIPS

Well what a day at Sydney Olympic Park as once again our very own mighty Maureen Ogilvie climbed to the pinnacle of world orienteering ranks with a big win in Womens 75 years. Maureen finished over a minute in front.
It is most important to mention here that the courses for the final were set by Nick Wilmott and that Dick Ogilvie was the controller for the qualifying event held at Macquarie University the day before.

A number of Uringans also took part in the day: In almost all age classes there were A Finals and B finals.
Angela Murray finished a very creditable 12th in W60A, Jan Sargood was 25th in W55A, Sarah Garnett 29th in W50A and Marg Wilmott enjoyed her run in W50B finishing 25th.
Lisa Lampe unfortunately had a miss punch in W45B and Linda Sesta was close to the pace in W40A finishing 6th less than a minute from the leaders.
Dave Lotty was placed 3rd in the M60B and Rick Steele was 9th in M55B

Everyone is now heading to Lithgow for a 3 more races in the Long Distance Discipline.
