Lake Macquarie 6/12 Hour and NSW Championships
The Lake Macquarie Rogaine, has been run and won! This year it also included the NSW Championships. For the results please go to here...
Congratulations to all the went out to search for orange and white markers (even the elusive 55), take in the views and scramble the lawyer vines.
A big congratulations to those that took the category wins in the NSW Championships (a short 12 hours this year!).
• 1st Overall - Martin Dent and Susie Sprague - 1920
• 2nd Overall - Neil Hawthorne and Mike Hotchkis – 1860
• 3rd Overall - Ronnie Taib and David Williams - 1850
There was 10 points in 2nd and 3rd. Neil and Mike were 10 points ahead of Ronnie and Dave, the reigning NSW Men’s Open Champs which gave them a sweep of trophies (Men’s Open, Veteran and Super Veteran). It looks like Mike and Neil got in some good practice for the World Championships in Finland in a few weeks and of course the Australasian Champs in October!
