DROC had a great weekend at the recent Victorian Orienteering Champs. The Middle Distance and Long Distance events were held at Mt Alexander, near Harcourt. The map features (a lot of) granite, and some seriously steep slopes, which really tested the mettle of those on longer courses. The areas closer to the arena are more open and with fewer contours; ideal for shorter courses. The weather was perfect, and it was beautiful to be out in the forest with the sun shining.
At the end of the weekend, DROC had several new Victorian Champions, and more podium placegetters! Congratulations to:
Vic Middle Distance Champs:
- 1st Place – Pamela King, Matthew Maunder
- 2nd Place – Elijah Spencer, Helen Walpole, Chris Klep, Damian Spencer
- 3rd Place – Lanita Steer, Peter Dalwood
Vic Long Distance Champs:
- 1st Place – Pamela King, Chris Klep, Simon Rouse
- 2nd Place – Elijah Spencer, Ian Davies, Ray Scaddan
- 3rd Place – Damian Spencer, Debbie Dodd
