Three Australian men competed in the A final of the JWOC Middle Distance today. Brodie Nankervis doing the best of the three to achieve his third top 20 position with a very good performance to finish in 16th place after being in 6th place at the first radio control. This result means that Brodie has achieved a top 20 place in all the individual events at JWOC- sprint, long and middle. The first time since the sprint was introduced into the JWOC program in 2006 that an Australian has achieved this. Oscar McNulty finished in 32nd place (+8:59) and Oliver Poland in 34th place (+9:20). In the B final Henry McNulty finished in 21st place, Matt Doyle in 32nd place and Ashley Nankervis in 51st place.
