Monday’s Orienteering Schools League welcomed 181 runners, including many newcomers, for the second event of the Series. This time the event was held at Heron Bridge College, North of Fourways.
The course was possibly a little more tricky than the first event at Wits Education Campus and the runners had to pay close attention to their maps. It was also a harder run physically with hot conditions slowing down participants and the campus feeling very much like the terrain was either up or down. The four age-category courses had the runners returning to the Sports Complex side of the property from the tunnel down by the river, which meant an uphill run/walk/crawl to the finish area.
The results are as follows:
Junior boys (56 runners)
- Mark Flint, Charter College, 14:32
- Devon Cowling, Fourways, 15:28
- Peter Carides, St Davids, 16:00
Junior girls (59 runners)
- Christie Courtnage, Trinity, 14:02
- Kirsten Chambers, Bryandale, 18:10
- Kirsten Kruger, Charter Collage, 22:43
- Timothy Chambers, Fourways, 12:42
- Greg Avierinos, Cornwall, 14:38
- Justin Valsecchi, Randpark, 18:58
- Jessie Oldknow, Fourways, 20:19
- Annette van der Merwe, Cornwall, 23:02
- Jessica Thiels, Fourways, 24:01
