This was the second year that we implemented an application process for the senior and junior squads. The SAOF Selection Committee was again impressed by the content of the applications received. It points to some highly competitive and exciting orienteering in 2014 and beyond.
It is with great pleasure that the SAOF Selection Committee announces the Senior, Junior, Youth and Development National orienteering squads for 2014 as follows (in alphabetical order):
Senior Squad
Eugene Botha, Michele Botha, Stephanie Courtnage, Michael Crone, Brian Gardner, Bradley Lund, Nicholas Mulder, Sarah Pope

Youth Squad

(* = also members of the development squad)
Announcements of team selection for the various tours, camps and competitions will be made during the course of 2014 in terms of the timelines set out in the 2014 Seasonal Policy document.

Kind regards,
