Huge congratulations to Lanita Steer, who has been named in the National Junior Development Squad for 2012. This high-performance group is made up of Australia's most talented orienteers under 16 years and is chosen by a selection panel. Lanita was selected on the strength of her excellent performances at this year's Australian Championships, and she is the only Victorian in the squad of 14. DROC wishes Lanita continued success next year as she trains and competes with the squad, with an eye to future selection for the Australian Junior World Championship (JWOC) team. |
