The National Senior Squad for 2012 has been named by OA’s senior selection panel.
The National Senior Squad acknowledges athletes who are aiming for selection in an Australian senior team (World Orienteering Championships, World Cup, World Games or Bushrangers) in the next two years.
Selection is based on:
- a) the perceived ability of the athlete to make a senior team in at least one discipline; and
- b) their demonstrated training at an appropriate level and consistency to achieve this. In alphabetical order:
