William D. Boyce Park
Orienteering Meet
16 October 2016

It was an unusually warm October day, temperatures in the low 70's with lots of sunshine.  Andy Strat designed two beginner and two advanced sprint courses and there was a lot of participation on each of them.

Turnout for the sprints was excellent; we had 109 people participate in 64 starts.  Only 5 groups did both beginner sprints; 7 individuals did both advanced sprints; and 2 groups did one beginner and one advanced sprint.  The map fee entitled everyone to two sprints; but the heat or a late start may have prevented more from doing a second sprint.  Everyone seemd happy with the courses, although a few people did return covered in burrs.   With only one DNF and one DSQ, a lot of first-time orienteers and expected winning times, the courses were definitely a success.

Thanks to Joe Logan for vetting the courses.  Thanks to Joe, Tali Shalom-Barak, James Fenn and Laurie Opila for running registration.  Thanks to Giuseppina Mecchia and Joe for helping with start/finish.  Thanks to Sherry Shank and Naomi Jarvis for handling instruction.  And thanks to Yaki Barak, Katrina Weinmann, and Alexis Rzewski for doing control pickup.

You can see the splits for each course  here ; the fastest leg times are in red.

Our next event will be at Laurel Hill State Park on October 30.
