IUP Co-Op Recreational Park Results

Date:               24 April 1994
Course Setters:     Jim Wolfe, Ray Tuttle, Jennifer Toward, Ed Dalton
Meet Director:      Jim Wolfe

The 1994 Western PA Championships were held using the IUP club's new 1:10000 map of the IUP Co-Op Recreational Park, which is just outside Indiana, PA.  The map was drawn by Mark Adams and printed by Hamilton-Newell.  Though small, it was hailed as a first class O-map by the competitors.  With the help of Mark Frank and a map printer borrowed from DVOA, all courses for the event were pre-printed.

The temperatures were near 70°; and the competitors appreciated the well stocked water points.  With no rain for several days prior to the meet, conditions in the woods were nearly ideal, far from the very wet conditions that are much more common for Indiana in spring.

The staged start was run by Jennifer Toward, who was recently named to the 1994 US team for the Student World Championships, and Takako Nittoh, who was named alternate to the same team.  Start times and registration were handled by Ray Tuttle and Ed Dalton.  The finish was run by Paul Thompson and Matt Winkelbauer.  Everyone did a great job and things ran nearly flawlessly.

Eight IUP alumni returned to compete on the new map:  Mark Frank, Eric Weyman, Paul Deprator, Denise (Monahan) Carles, Diane (Dengler) Clifford, John Service, Kevin Hunter, and Marlene Hatch.  We appreciated all of these former club members returning for this event.  They found the new map a vast improvement over the maps of the Co-Op Park that they used when they were with the IUP club.

Everyone seemed to have a good time.  The competitors all agreed that the meet went well.  Our thanks to everyone who came.
