Police & Fire Games – continued…

As our local orienteers found, the courses were quite physically demanding which highlighted the high fitness levels of the Police and Fire games competitors with Szymon Lawecki of Poland winning the ‘Open Mens’ 6.9km course in 46min24secs. This compared quite well with our best local runners on the day, Andrew McComb and Vanessa Round doing the same course in 60:29 and 52:55 respectively. Local ‘Tintookies’ Orienteer, Maarten Nieuwenhoven, representing the SA Fire department won “Gold” in the ‘Grand Masters C’ section on Course 4 in 48:16 and Mark Schammer also of the SA MFS had the best time for the ‘Senior B Men’ winning the Course 2 in 56:06. Other Australian runners to place in the medals were Ken Post (WA Police Dept.) taking the “Bronze” in the ‘Grand Masters A’ section and Robin Werkert from the NSW Fire Dept. winning the ‘Master A Women’s’ division. A full list of the results for both Orienteering Events held on the 17th March can be seen on the OASA web site.
