Another great day of spring Orienteering along the American River Parkway! It was a bit toasty and breezy, but I think everyone enjoyed the excellent courses prepared by Mats Jansson. We had 123 people participate, including JROTCers, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. We love to see all those young people out in nature exercising their minds and bodies!
The White course was won by Mats' older daughter, Annika, in 23:51. Second was newcomer Wes Moldogo in 32:30. The indefatigable Wes went on to have the fastest time on the Yellow course, 53:03, then took on Orange in 114:25! Tops among first-coursers in Yellow were Cathleen Tristan and Zach Grooman at 60:30. GCO's Jeff Thompson won Orange in 58:47. GCO's Marsha Jacobs led all Brown comers in 99:54. François Léonard of BAOC, fresh from a medal-winning performance at U.S. Championship races the weekend before in update New York, won Red in 57:17.
