That's what Matt, Greg and I had, so very happy with the selection, and the fact there are 5 NorthWest club members.

One of the strongest teams across the board for a while and augers well for future teams considering the age of some of them at the moment
Sorry Rob we can't actually take Helena as our own even though we would like too, as she's now joined PAPO because she at Uni in Chch. Mind you we've taught her all she knows.
Well done to the selectors for getting the team out so quickly, now those selected can get on with booking flights

Well played selectors, fast turnaround is awesome. Some hard choices I'm sure.

Some of us are enjoying spring orienteering rather than autumn and so out of the loop...
Presumably Danielle Goodall was unavailable?
Is it taboo to ask why Lauren Turner was disqed?
Have to say after seeing how much O training these Danish juniors do that it's no wonder that Denmark gets a few JWOC medals. Matt and Tim of course can also fill the team in on the dedication that's needed... but also prove that it is possible from NZ! Of course the team should be aiming to have great orienteering races and then the results will take care of themselves.

Danielle wasn't available but watch out next year, she's an unbelievable talent for someone so young.
Lauren didn't follow the taped route through the event centre from control 10-11, instead she cut through the forest.
She also had an mp in the sprint so not the greatest of weekends for someone with so much experience and talent.

For all those thinking of future JWOC's, it's Norway next year. Looking further out, here's a taster of JWOC 2016 in Switzerland.
