It was an extremely good day to orienteer at Yellow Creek. The
temperature ranged from the 50's into the low 60's and strangely there
was almost no wind. Clearly, everyone was ready to get out of the
house; and many of them came to the meet. We set records with the
number of participants (113) and number of starts (52). We also had
excellent distribution of the participants with 12 or more starts on each
of the four courses. Al Sheaffer was meet director and designed some very
good courses. Several very positive comments about the courses were
heard and the times for the finishers were what you would expect.
We also set a record for new members (5) and membership renewals (6), largely
as a result of Mary McElhinny working at registration. Welcome to
new members Bill Unger, Tim Spang, Brad Pinter, Kate Fissell, and Thomas
Knapp. Thanks to all those who helped put on the meet: Mary McElhinny,
Stephanie Martineau, and Laurie Opila on registration; Kristaps Tamuzs
in different roles; Bryon Roland on parking management (there were big
problems with mud); John Hartman, Jason Gray, and Bill Croyle on
control pickup. The next meet is on April 15 at the University Farm.
