Orienteering this year has been stalled by COVID-19 along with most other sports , but three events were squeezed in . On the most dreary day of the year the Hawke ’ s Bay schools sprint and relay were held . The day started early with the sprint at EIT and our 29 competitors were barely able to read their maps through the bucketing rain . Managing to push through the conditions were Max Beale and Thomas Potts coming second and third in the junior boys grade . Piper Burrows was second in junior girls , along with Niamh Vaughan coming second in intermediate girls . Lorcan Rabbitte managed a win in intermediate boys over Karsen Vesty in second place . Our biggest victory of the morning was collecting a clean sweep in ���������������������������������������������������� Lily Stephens second and Rani Williams third in senior ������������������������������������������������������ Potts second and Cormac Turley third .
