North Park 2
Orienteering Meet
10 September 2023


The forecast called for rain; but none appeared until after the event was over. We had a large turnout with 54 starts from 95 people. About one third of the people did not preregister and those mostly went out on the beginner and novice courses. There were quite a few scouts at the event.

Dave Battista was event director; he designed four courses: beginner, novice and short and long scramble. The scrambles proved to be quite challenging due to the steepness of the hill sides and the total climb involved. Although the finishing times were fairly long, there were very few DNFs. One of the most impressive performances was by 11-year-old Ellis Cenk who ran the beginner course by himself.

Thanks to Joe Logan for vetting. Thanks to Ryan Repp, Loretta Opila, and John Pane for handling registration/check-in. Thanks to Ryan Knecht and Jim Wolfe for helping with start/finish. Thanks to Sherry Shank and Joe Logan for conducting instruction. And thanks to Tim Spang, Joe Logan, Dave Battista and John Pane for doing control pickup.
