Callan Park Sprint Event, Sunday 16th February, 2014

 

The rain had stopped, the ground was soft, the grass was green and the birds were singing for the late afternoon start for this event.  As usual, many Uringans attended to assist with over 80 keen orienteers who entered the event. Many compliments for Matt who was the Course Setter and many were bemused, but very accepting of, the new computer-based self-directed method of registration, devised by Ron, which was 100% accurate! Maureen provided a cake at just the right time and the Jones family helped with collection of controls at the end of the event, so it was a wrap by 8.15 pm. Competition was keen with some excellent times recorded.

Up and coming junior Aidan Dawson showed a clean pair of heels to the rest of the field winning by almost a minute when he finished in 16.52.  The first Uringan home was Lawrence Jones in 20.01 (6th) and right behind with only a gap of 3 seconds was Ian Jones in 8th place. Catherin Murphy chipped with a fine top ten finish.

(Thanks Penny for your report!)
