Monday’s course at Delta Park was probably the most challenging of the Orienteering Schools League. Without the buildings and defined structure of a school environment, navigation is that little bit more difficult, especially when it comes to keeping the map orientated.
This week saw a number of newcomers but most participants have been to one or both of the previous events. And it shows in the results. The number of runners disqualified for incorrect punching (wrong control, wrong order) is down substantially; only 12 in total compared to 49 last week!
The final event of the Orienteering Schools League is this Monday, 27 February and the event will be held at St Stithians. Top ranking runners from each school will be selected for the Schools League Final, on Monday, 5 March. Every runner who has participated in the League is invited to enter teams (three in each team) for the annual Clubs Relay on Sunday, 25 March. This event will be held at Cornwall Hill College in Centurion.

Junior boys (50 runners)
