Henry McNulty: 2024 Athlete of the Year

   

Congratulations to Henry McNulty who has been announced as the 2024 Orienteering Australia Athlete of the Year at the recent OA AGM. 

The highlight of Henry’s year was his ninth place in the individual sprint at the World Championships in Scotland. This was the best result of his career in his sixth World Championships, and made him the fourth Australian man to achieve a top-ten result at the World Championships. He was also part of the Australian team which placed 15th in the sprint relay and reached the quarter-finals of the knockout sprint.

Earlier in the season, he had achieved his best World Cup result with a 19th in the first round in Switzerland. Whilst his best WOC results have come in the sprint, he has also achieved some good forest results, including 35th in both the middle and long distance at the 2023 World Championships.


Henry has lived in Norway for most of his senior career and has achieved a number of high placings in Norwegian national competitions. He won the Australian Long Distance Championships, running for the Western Nomads, at his last attempt in 2018.
