Yellow Creek North
Orienteering Meet
24 September 2023


It was a rainy day with temperatures in the mid-50s; this kept the turnout very low. About 40% of the preregistered individuals and groups did not show up. We had 20 starts from 40 participants.

Sherry Shank was the event director; she offered five courses: Beginner, Novice, Intermediate, Advanced Short and Long. We had our fewest participants ever on the Beginner course, partly because the scouts who came chose to do the Novice course instead. This turned out to be problematic because one of the control boxes on the Novice course malfunctioned; by the time we fixed the problem, all but one of the participants on that course had passed the bad control. The results for the Novice were manually corrected for times but the listing below is NOT in finish order.

There was one additional problem. The control flag and box of the fourth control on the Advanced Long course was misplaced. Everyone on that course gave up after looking for that control for a while. In the splits, the fourth control was removed; as a consequence, the split time from control 3 to the control listed as 4 are quite long as these include the search times for the original control 4. And naturally, the overall times for all participants are long in the results.

Thanks to Jim Wolfe for vetting. Thanks to Naomi Jarvis, Ryan Repp and Laurie Opila for handling registration/check-in. Thanks to Jim Wolfe for helping with start/finish. Thanks to Jen Livingston (with added help from Eric Steinbring) for conducting instruction. And thanks to Naomi Jarvis, Ryan Knecht, Joe Logan and Sherry Shank for doing control pickup.
