I don't envy the selector's job, but once again there is an incredibly long gap from the NZSS Champs to find who has made the team for Australia.
Need to select 4 teams of 4, with one a no brainer, so that means more than 4 days has passed for each of the other 3 teams.
The kids must be tearing their hair out, and air fares are rising as it is school holiday time.
Come on Peter, Alistair and Bill, make a decision!!!

With all due respect to the current crop of selectors, who have all contributed much to NZO.
This is an ongoing problem. I personally have experienced the reality both as a manager and athlete of the costs of delayed selection process. Thousands of dollars.
I don't understand why, as has been done at times in the past, that selections can't be made on the date of the final trial.
Perhaps this needs to be written into the selector role, as a clear expectation from the NZOF.

Perhaps NZ schools teams would be better off being selected by a individual/group that is/are more present in the schools orienteering scene. With prior knowledge of athletes before NZSS I'm sure a quick and fair decision on the team would be a fairly straight forward process after the competitions.

At least in previous years, input was sought from the schools coordinator.
The way the Australian schools honours team is selected and announced is great. It provides valuable recognition of the team members.
