Keystone State Park
Orienteering Meet
15 April 2023


The weather was looking good until about 5 minutes before the first start; then it rained for about 30 minutes. Many people delayed their start to let the rain taper off; this also meant that it was darker when they started. We had 42 starts from 51 participants with quite a few trying night-o for the first time. There were only two no-shows; which is far better than usual.

Jim Wolfe was event director; he designed four night sprint courses (two short ones for beginners and novices and two longer ones for intermediate and advanced orienteers. However, there were a few participants who insisted on trying the longer, more difficult course instead of the shorter course that their skill level was better suited to. Their times or lack of finishing reflected this. Winning times were quite fast; the winning time on Long 2 would have been even faster if Zach Serafini had not skipped the last control.

Thanks to Loretta Opila and Lee Bash for handling registration/check-in. Thanks to Jim Wolfe and Joe Logan for helping with start/finish.  And thanks to Eric Steinbring, Jim Wolfe and Lee Bash for doing control pickup.

The next WPOC event will be at Babcock Bog & Boulder Challenge on 29 April.
