Race 10 of the Bendigo Orienteers Bush Classic Series was held on Saturday 5th of July. Chris Creely was the event organiser and he did a great job of setting the courses at Mosquito Creek. It was definitely a wintery day with drizzly rain and low temperatures, but competitors were not deterred, coming from all reaches of Victoria and some interstate.
Bryan Keely showed consistency to win the 7.5km Course 1 ahead of Bruce Arthur and Ted Van Geldermalsen with Laurina Neumann taking out 5th place overall as the fastest female on the course.
Close competition in course 2 between brothers as Nic Cherry took the win over Lachlan, followed closely by Stephen Bird. Michael Loughnan placed a convincing 1st in Course 3, with Matt Jackel and Bob Cameron coming in 2nd and 3rd respectively.
Course 4 provided Rick McDonald with a six-second win over Sarah Davies, followed not too far behind by increasingly competitive Mason Arthur. Course 5 was won by Torren Arthur, ahead of Sophie Arthur and Ginger McKenzie.
Overall a great turn out to Mosquito Creek and an excellent event. See you all at Mandurang next week.
