O-Max 2014 Results

Link here to Series Points.

Please e-mail me if there are any corrections required (Rob Collier,) for grades or spelling of names. 

Note: Points for OMax 4 for boys grade have been invalidated because not all competitors were advised to do the OMax Long Course.  Best 3 has been used to calculate the Series result.

OMax # 6 – Avalon Park

 

Thanks to Mick Finn for his multiple loop courses around Avalon Park and even across to the other side of SH2 via an underpass and a culvert plus due to river conditions it was possible to use crossing the river as an option which added new elements for those of us who had been there before.

 

Tim Robertson completed an excellent series with another win and is the Mens Champion.  Shamus Morrison had a consistent series taking a deserved second place and no doubt happy to take the OMax #3 win.

 

Alexandra Riddle beat Ellie Molloy but only by one place, and Ellie holds on to win by 1 point in the Womens competition.  Laura Roberson came back from injury for this round with a dominating win and is no doubt looking to build up for the Nationals from here.

 

In the veteran Men John Robertson, also coming back from injury, won from Rob Collier with Andrew Riddle and then Malcolm Ingham in 3rd and 4th.  This gave Rob the series win from Malcolm who needed to beat Rob.

 

In Veteran Woman Gillian Ingham won from Anna Robertson but Anna already had an unassailable series lead.

 

In the Boys (yr 11 and under) grade Matthew Stark won the series beating Cameron Thiele in this round.

 

Amber Riddle confirmed her win in the Girls Grade with another win for a perfect series (although she did not run in OMax 1)..

 

Congratulations to the series winners.

OMax # 5 – Wrights Hill

 

Thanks to Sarah and William for planning this event on the tracks, open areas and around buildings on wrights hill.  One control was in an old gun emplacement. 

 

Tim Robertson (no real surprise) has wrapped up the Mens competition, however many other grades are still very open with Ellie Molloy leading the womens grade and several able to still overtake her.  Amber Riddle and Anna Robertson have wrapped up the School girls (short) and Verteran Women grades.  Matthew Stark still needs better than 3rd to wrap up the School Boys Grade.

 

Malcolm Ingham can still win the Veteran Mens grade if he finishes 3rd and beats Rob Collier.

 

Looking forward to a good finale at Avalon Park.

OMax # 4 – Hutt Valley High School

 

Bryn and Piret planned a three loop course though HVHS that challenged runners with different route choices on each loop through the complex and irregular building detail, finishing with river bank vegetation and tracks to force a change of technique for part of the final loop. 

 

Well done to the boy and girl section runners who did the full OMax course (Bryn didn’t get the memo on setting a short course).

OMax # 3 – Crofton Downs (AC/DC).

 

Magnus planned a 3 loop Orienteering course near the substation in Crofton downs.  The terrain was steep with varied vegetation from rough open land to open native forest and areas of gorse and blackberry with many tracks for route choice.  This terrain made for a challenging night for most competitors.

OMax # 2 – Trentham Memorial Park.

 

Bill Edwards planned a three loop course around the park making use of paths through wooded areas and other landscape features for route choice and control locations.  The third loop was able to be done in any order, but one of each pair of U, V, W, X and Z were required setting up two main options.
