Sierra College

Event Director and Course Setter

For the first time this year, the weather cooperated at a GCO event. The sun came out, the wind died down, and the temperature was fairly cool and comfortable at the start of the day.

Although the turnout was a little lower than at most of our events, everyone seemed to enjoy the courses.

The winners on all the courses were newcomers! Travis McCleary blasted his way through the White course, beating out the usually first-place speedy Greg Mandler. Chris Paluch (BAOC) bested the other Yellow competitors, Scout Team 386 father-and-son duo Matt and Lucas Melcher sped to first place on the Orange course, and Jeremy Olson found all 44 controls on the Scramble in the fastest recorded time. Also capturing all 44 controls on the Scramble was the team of Mila Olson and Jennifer Cabrera.

Thanks to the hard-working team of volunteers for this event: Jonas Libell, Jennifer Kerr, Norbert Wagner, Kathy Tegtmeier, Mike Christensen, Randy Christopherson, and Danny Lulla. Also much appreciated are Bob Cooley for map printing, Amanda Mellett of Sierra College for the permit, Dwight Freund for map updates, and Mats Jansson for organizing the online registration process.

We hope to see you all in the Fall at our next GCO event!
