Orienteering USA is pleased to announce the team to represent the US at the 2026 European Youth Orienteering Championships (EYOC), to be held in Slovenia June 25-27, 2026. EYOC is the premier international competition for orienteers in the M/W16 and M/W18 age classes, and a tremendous opportunity for our young competitors to test themselves on a larger stage.
Selected this year:
M16
Alex Eriksson
Mark Fey
Nate Dunlap*
M18
Erik Fey
Misha Biryukov*
Nathan Hinds
Samuel Sunko
W16
Josalyn Dunlap
Allison Coates
Sophie Neumann
W18
Anna Green*
Sophie Howes*
Danny Buchholz*
Rose Freedman-Riles
Several of the athletes were also selected to the JWOC team. Due to the close timing of these two competitions, athletes selected for both teams were required to choose only one. Those athletes selected for EYOC who have opted to participate in JWOC instead are noted by an asterisk. Note that Alex Eriksson was selected for both and opted for participation in EYOC.
Congratulations to all the athletes and good luck in Slovenia! We’ll be cheering from home.
