Medium – Jessica Sharp on Revelwood Synergy. The Medium series winner was Faye Hinchcliffe on Valhala Valkyrie.

Elementary – Tanya Grieve on Van Eyk Flyme. Series winner was Rachel Rudd on Tooradin Park Givenchy.

Preliminary – Sydney Wenn on Star Olympias. Series winner was Dianne Wilkinson on Riverbend Icehouse.

Well done to all competitors, running committee and sponsors for another enjoyable series.
