A bit about me: I play football competitively, I enjoy playing guitar and going on walks and adventures with my friends. I adore greek/Mediterranean food cooked specifically by my mother.

Best results in orienteering this year? Winning the junior elites long distance and placing second at NZOC

Map you want to run on: World cup sprint maps in China from a couple years ago

Most exciting O event: Definitely the entirety of O-Ringen – a completely new experience as a 16 year old abroad

Worst O memory: Losing my map midcourse and struggling to find my way back to the event centre

Best O story: Hands down watching Ronan run into a tree

What I am looking forward to: Running on the terrain especially for long distance on the hills and on rocks

Bit about me: I'm a uni student who loves to cram as many things into one week as possible, whether this is activities such as surfing, tramping, climbing or playing a bit of volley, or just chilling on the coach after a long day studying watching a bit of Game of Thrones with the flatties. My favourite music has got to be a bit of DnB to hype up the boys before a night out. A favourite pastime of mine is drip feeding my flat mates riddles that they can't figure out over a couple weeks.

Best orienteering results this year: Too many 4ths for one man, JWOC trials middle, Nationals sprint and long. Plus a 2nd in the Nationals relay courtesy of Gene and Heidi.

Represented NZ before? Yes multiple Aussie trips years 10 - 12. Unfortunately some trips cut short due to covid.

Map I want to run: Any old JWOC map, after following the races online would be awesome to go run those areas myself.

Best O memory: Coming into the finish of the 2020 NISSC thinking I heard the loud speaker wrong coming to learn that I had beaten my best mate Will Tidwell for the first time in 5-ish years. Also can't forget your first international race; Aussie, Bathurst, sprint race in 30+ degrees heat.

Worst memory: Bathurst long distance getting lost on a control for 40+ mins, to find out I was within 100 metres of the control for over half the time.

Best O story: All the best O memories come from Aussie trips and Junior camps. One of the more iconic moments includes rocking up to the first Bathurst sprint playing Poi E or eating pizza up the ChCh gondola during a rogaine.

Most looking forward to? Winning JWOC then letting loose at Event 6

A bit about you: Apart from orienteering, I also have played football for around 7 years and do climbing, adventure racing and tramping, as well as other outdoorsy things.

Have you represented NZ before? No I haven’t. I was selected for the schools team in 2020 but we didn’t get to travel and I missed out on the team last year.

Map you want to run on? Anywhere overseas :)

Most exciting/memorable O event: Probably the first junior junior o camp I went on.

Worst memory of an O event: A day orienteering is never a bad day but maybe the freezing cold and wet conditions throughout the whole course planning, control putting out and running of Montgomery Spur OY earlier this year.

What you are most looking forward to? Everything! I am so excited to go orienteering overseas for the first time and spend time with everyone on the team. Also looking forward to travelling and experiencing Hungary and Portugal and meeting orienteers from other countries.

A bit about you: I like lots of adventure sports. I ski in the winter, rock climb and kite board in the summer. Our family does lots of tramping and adventure trips as well. I like whitewater kayaking too.

What are your best results in orienteering this year:? 1st places in the Nationals in Nelson in U20, middle and long, and good races at the JWOC trials in March.

Have you represented NZ before? Yes, at the secondary school races in Australia.

Map you want to run on: The map for the JWOC 2021 middle final in Turkey looks cool.

Most exciting/memorable O event: Nelson nationals at Canaan was really good, and I liked racing in Australia on different maps.

Worst memory of an O event: At an event in Marlborough, I had a big spike go into my eye and another into my leg when bush bashing, I had to go to hospital to have the spine from my leg surgically removed.

What's your best O story: I really like orienteering racing, but I enjoy hanging out with all my friends at the events and the places we get to explore.

What you are looking forward to? The new terrain and maps, racing against the best Juniors in the world.

There is a huge field of international runners, around 100 in each category. The final event is the relays.

Bit about me: I also play hockey, enjoy hanging out with friends and family whenever I can.

What are your best results in O this year? I think my best result for orienteering this year was 1st in the W20E sprint at club nationals.

Prior NZ representation: Yes in 2019 I was lucky enough to go to Worlds Schools in Estonia and Australia with the junior NZ secondary schools team.

Map you want to run on: Anything overseas would be so cool, especially if it’s different to NZ terrain.

Most exciting/memorable O event? Probably World Schools, being able to go overseas and compete with my friends and meet other orienteers from around the world was an amazing experience.

Worst memory of an O event: My worst memory was probably getting chased by a cow at Churchill Park during a summer nav.

What are you looking forward to? Running and competing in a new country on completely new terrain.

What sort of training have you been doing leading up to JWOC?
My usually hockey trainings and games. I have been doing some more longer runs and any Auckland club or school events I can.

What are you looking forward to?
Running and competing in a new country on completely new terrain.
