Australia’s most successful Junior World Champs has closed, with the womens #1 team of Jasmine Neve, Erin Post and Hanny Allston claiming 7th spot in the relay — the highest place ever achieved by an Australian team in a JWOC relay. Jasmine started steadily, Erin picked up 6 places and Hanny came home in the fastest time of the day to claim 7th place.

In the men’s relay, Australia promised much, but the team will be disappointed with their 18th place overall.

A full report from team manager Hilary Wood will be posted shortly.
