Fellow NSWIS athlete Kaarle McCulloch posted two top-10 events, claiming seventh and eighth in the women’s sprint and team sprint respectively; Scott Law finished sixth in the men’s omnium after an excellent final day that included two top-three finishes, and youngster Nicola Macdonald placed 13th in the women’s team pursuit.
