Wednesday was another great day for Canadian orienteering. Emily Kemp continued to prove that she is one of the top junior orienteers in the world. She won her middle distance qualification heat in a time of 25:27, 1:28 faster than the second place Anastasia Denisova of Belarus.
Emily's younger sister, Molly Kemp, kept up the family tradition with a solid race. She finished 18th in her heat and qualified for the A final!
