Uringa at the ACT Champs

A virtual bus load of Uringans headed down to the ACT Championships this weekend. With 3 vents over the two days there were sure to be some very sore legs.
Event 1 the sprint was run in the grounds of Bruce Tafe. The trouble with sprint events is one slip, no matter how minor can send you plummeting down the leader board. However we had a number of excellent performances.

The afternoon saw competitors head out of town for the forest for the Middle Distance event and Wild Deer Plains
The Uringa numbers were bolstered by a second bus load of competitors. Angela Murray maintained her consistent form with a solid midfield placement. Sibylle Boos is making the most of her last few aussies runs with fine form however a blue on the 6th control where she dropped 2 minutes to the winner Karen Blatchford proved very costly in the end. Linda Sesta made one of her rare mistakes punching the wrong first control. Youngster Lawrence Jones continues to impress in his first year on orange courses with a fine 2nd place.
You have to feel for Jane Mckenna in W21A after 5.3kms her last control was not registered..

The Long Champs were held at Geary’s Gap north of Canberra on Sunday.

Again Uringa members did very well with a number standing on the podium. Felt a little sorry for Noel and Matthias Boos who both missed the number one spot by 3 seconds and 2 seconds respectively.
Sibylle overturned the previous two results with a 1st in W35A and Linda Sesta was right behind her for an excellent 2nd place. Jane, David and Jared McKenna all scored 1st places so that car was pretty happy heading home
