From 23 to 25 September, the Polish Orienteering Championships were held in Ogrodzieniec (Silesian Voivodeship). Seven competitors from UKS Tukan Iwiny represented our county. The bronze medals in the night race were won by: Małgorzata Szeliga (in the K-18 category) and Marek Wojnowicz (M-20). Our other representatives also performed well.
