Uringa Runs Hot at the Aussie Champs

Whilst there wasn’t the large travelling group competing at the Australian Champs, there were a lot of Uringans who “medalled”.

Unfortunately we did not manage any firsts, but 2nds there were many:

Noel Boos M12A, Matthais Boos M35AS, Mark Darvodelsky M45A, Sybille Boos W40A, Helen Murphy competing in W55AS all scored a 3^rd place on the podium.

Dick Ogilvie, Dave Lotty and Terry Murphy were 10^th , 12^th and 24^th respectively in M60A. Lisa Lampe ran very well for 5^th in W45A. Angela Murray was a very creditable 12^th in W65A and Maureen came in 5^th in W75A.

While most returned to Sydney after the event Maureen and Dick stayed on for the Australian MTBO Championships.

The competitors raced over a Sprint, Middle and Long distance events. Maureen finished a close second behind Joyce Rowlands in W70A in the Sprint and Middle, but turned the tables to take 1^st place in the Long. Dick was placed 8^th, 7^th and 9^th in the Sprint, Middle and Long in M60A. Well done to you both and your trusty “speedwell” bikes.
