inception in 2003?

Wasn't there a Southern Cross Junior Challenge in 1994?

Is that the order they ran in?? How come Scott didn't run the relay??

Show Profile  Martin Posted: 28 September 2005, 10:46 AM  
Thats the right order for junior girls, Simon ran 3rd leg in senior boys, don't know the rest. Scott did run, mybad.

Amazing Results, Such a consistantly high standard.
These are the best results ever! and It would be close to a NZ victory even if all the states combined!

Show Profile  Andrew M Posted: 28 September 2005, 12:09 PM  
Some awesome results, great to see the girls dominating. My apologies to previous cohorts of girls, but it has been a while since such a convincing set of results have been posted.

Hopefully a couple of juniors can peak for Aussie Champs next weekend. Would be great to scare a few of the Aussies ahead of JWOC '07. Hopefully both senior girls and boys relay teams can stick together for the next 2 years til JWOC.

This is awesome. Our depth is growing in our sport, thanks to the hard work by many committed orienteers out there in certain clubs who have really focused on promoting school orienteering and helping these school kids come through the system. Congratulations must be put to these people also.

I may add that it is my belief that WE need to help this group of committed juniors reach their potential in time for JWOC 07. JWOC in oz is going to be our best chance ever, and its right on our backdoor. Lets not say "if only" after it or "what if". Lets say "we did" or "congratulations".

Let me be the first to offer myself to the cause. I will do anything for this group that is within my powers to see them reach high levels in JWOC in oz and beyond. Lets see some others man up, we can all do our part.

And what are you going to do Simon, man up?

Awesome results guys and girls, love seeing the Aussies getting beaten in their own terrain (any time, any terrain)

Now thats what I like to see...
Overall Results: 1. New Zealand

don't forget our currently injured athletes who are aiming for '07 aswell, may they recover soon after 16-18 months out

Hey Simon and others, Now that the Job has been done in Australia this year, I'll get you to focus your minds forward. I'm currently putting together a plan of attack for JWOC 07 Australia.

So if you have any ideas, are a person who is willing to "Man up" or even knows what "manning up" would mean in this context. Please let me know.

Cheers
Neil
