This was the first year that we implemented an application process for the senior and junior squads, and the SAOF Selection Committee was impressed by the content of the applications received. It points to some highly competitive and exciting orienteering in 2013 and beyond.
It is therefore with great pleasure that the SAOF Selection Committee announces the Senior, Junior, Youth and Development National orienteering squads for 2013 as follows (in alphabetical order):
Senior Squad
Eugene Botha, Michele Botha, Stephanie Courtnage, Michael Crone, Jeremy Green, Jess Lund, Nicholas Mulder, Sarah Pope
Junior Squad
Tim Chambers, Christie Courtnage, Bradley Lund, Roark Robinson, Salome Van Hoepen
Youth Squad
Dylan Barry, Kyle Blues, Peter Carides, Joshua De Klerk, Christian Dlamini *, Sarah Dutkiewicz, Scott Hallaeur, Kgatliso Maesela*, Cian Oldknow, Miguel Robinson, Laura Troost
(* = also members of the development squad)
Announcements of team selection for the various tours, camps and competitions will be made during the course of 2013 in terms of the timelines set out in the 2013 Seasonal Policy document.
We congratulate these athletes and wish them all the best in their orienteering endeavours.
kind regards,
Tania Wimberley
Chair – SAOF Selection Committee
