During the recent school holidays, Zack Meads represented New Zealand as part of the New Zealand Secondary Schools (NZSS) Orienteering Team and competed in the Australian Schools Orienteering Champs (ASOC) in Armidale, New South Wales Australia. Zack won the Junior Boys Sprint Event as part of this competition, while racing the top youth in NZ and Australia.

We applaud Zack for his determination and commitment to his sport. This is a massive achievement Zack. You have become a role model for those who aspire to follow you into the great sport of orienteering.
