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.
