High Storrs Boys Team for WSOC

In a bit of a break from tradition, we've had a chat to not one, but FIVE juniors. With less than one month to go until the High Storrs Boys Team jet off to Estonia along with 7 other SYO Juniors, we've asked them about their expectations of the World Schools Orienteering Championships, as well as their preparations for it, and the selection race last year.  Let's meet the team and hear what they had to say...

Will G

One of our strong cohort of M16s, Will and his family have only started orienteering relatively recently, coming up through the Schools series. They now attend almost all of our club events, along with many other regional and national events - check out what big events Will's going to this year at the end of his profile. This is a great way to gain inspiration as to what events you could give a try this year. But without further ado, let's hear from Will...

Anna T

Despite orienteering for just over a year, Anna has already excelled herself with her super-keen attitude, respresenting the club in team competitions and national championships with brilliant results (as you'll find out below!). But in addition to this, she's a very active club member - this being proved when she was the first SYO member to recieve a 20 participation T-shirt. Perhaps her greatest success though has been persuading the rest of her family to join the club - ideal for travelling to the bigger events!

Max M

Max is another one of our Schools League Stars. In less than 5 years, he has gone from a total beginner to representing England, at both Interland (a competition between parts of Belgium, France, the Netherlands & England) and more recently the Junior Home Internationals. On top of this, he was selected to go on the Lagganlia training camp this summer. (You can read about these experiences in the Summer 2018 Round-up!). We thought all this made him truly deserving of being our Junior of the Month... 

James B

This month, we've had a chat with James to find out a bit more about him. He's come up through our Schools League, and is now very competently competing at national championships and club competitions. He's even ended up in hospital just to achieve those top results! Let's see what he had to say...

Isabelle H

As our first ever Junior of the Month, we have profiled Isabelle. Now a W16, she competently runs the courses for her age class at national championships, despite being relatively new to the sport (along with the rest of her family). A very active club member, Isabelle often helps out at events, as well as running at club competitions - such as the recent Yvette Baker Final, where she scored points for Team SYO, coming 4th against other far more experienced juniors. Let's find out a bit about her...
