It was a smaller Arran team that travelled to the Ayrshire Schools Orienteering Championships this year but that did not stop them from bringing home a healthy haul of medals.
The team of 14 pupils – many having won medals at the recent inter-school competition – took part in the Dean Park event hosted by the Ayrshire Orienteering Club in Kilmarnock.
With three first place winners, one silver medal winner and three bronze medals, Arran was well represented on the podium. Winners of the various age groups were: Louis Urquart- Dixon, bronze medal winner in the S3 boys’ race; Oscar Inglis, bronze medal winner in the P6/7 boys; Myles Lindsay-Smith, winner of the P4/5 boys’ race; Charlie Bonner, winner of the S3/4 boys and also fastest overall on the orange course; Rosie McNamara, winner of the P4/5 girls’ race; Ruaridh Lindsay- Smith, bronze medal in the P6/7 boys with Oscar; Megan McCartney, silver medal in the S1/2 girls’ category.
