Yvette Baker

The same year she was a member of the British relay team at the World Orienteering Championships, making her possibly the youngest WOC participant ever.

[citation needed] During the following years' WOC, she always had promising qualification results in the top 10, but could not match them in the finals.

In 2001, after a winning her fourth consecutive qualification (1995/97/99/2001), she retired from the WOC with an 11th place in the long-distance event.

The annual Yvette Baker Trophy and Shield inter-club junior orienteering competition in the UK is named for her.
