State League 10 & 11

For the Southern Highlands is was positively balmy on the weekend of State league 10 & 11. State League 11 was also the NSW Schools Champs which had great importance for Lawrence and Georgia Jones who were hoping for strong results and a place in the NSW Schools team for the upcoming Australian Schools Champs.

State League 10 was held in the well known Belanglo State Forest. The courses were well set, taking in the best of the eucalypt with the odd bit of pine tossed in for good luck. Uringa had 17 orienteers in the fields and with 4 firsts, 6 seconds and 3 3rd places we certainly featured in the results.

An equally large crowd of Uringans plus a few hangers-on gathered at the Mittagong RSL for dinner. The food was fine service a little slow but who cares when your with friends.

Sunday saw a move a little further south to Penrose State Forest. Again there was plenty in the courses to test you and almost all red courses had a nice long leg of around a km to get the brain active. Again Uringans performed well with 7 first placing and 4 second places. It was a good weekend for Sophie, Maggie and Georgia Jones with 1st placings on both days. For Georgia, Sophie and Jared McKenna they won their class in the NSW Schools Champs. Linda Sesta also completed a fine double header with first placings in W40A
The highlight was no doubt the naming of Lawrence and Georgia in the NSW Schools Champs team for the Aust School Champs.
