Event Director and Course Setter
Participants at our event at Sac State University were rewarded with perfect orienteering weather. The nasty winds that were so prevalent the day before decided to settle down, and the sun was out but the temperature was fairly comfortable at the start of the day.
Everyone seemed to enjoy the courses. There were several other large events at the campus the same day, so orienteers were a bit flummoxed by all the activity surrounding our courses. One location actually had an unexpected sound system placed right where the control was!
Greg Mandler accomplished his usual speedy results on three of the courses; this is getting to be a habit. Maybe in the Fall he'll try his courses in the order of hardest to easiest for a change of pace? GCO's Spencer and Nancy Park led the Yellow competitors, while Cori and Peter Campa sped to first place on the Orange course. Four competitors found all 36 controls on the Scramble within the 60 minute time limit, the fastest being Michael Warner from River City High School's JROTC team.
Thanks to the hard-working team of volunteers for this event: Jonas Libell, Jennifer Kerr, Kathy Tegtmeier, Mike Christensen, Bob Bruns, Sue Lorimer, Dave Takacs, Mats Jansson and Dwight Freund. Also much appreciated are Bob Cooley for map printing, Nina Delgado, Susan Colley-Monk, and Danielle Rogers of CSUS who worked hard to provide several compromises to allow us to hold our event on the campus, Mats Jansson for organizing the online registration process, and Jennifer Kerr for maintaining event information and results on the GCO website.
We hope to see you all in the Fall at our next GCO event!
