The womens race was dominated by 2 successful runners who returned yesterday from the National Orienteering League in Victoria. Tracy Marsh who was part of the successful NSW mixed relay team in Victoria won in 19.39 from junior Emily Prudhoe in 23.26. Emily was the winner of the junior sprint in Victoria.
