It was bright sunny day with temperatures in the 70's. We had an excellent turn-out with the second highest number of starts ever, 70, and the highest number of starts on the White course ever, 25. We had a few people do a second course; but many of them found one course long enough. There were a lot of positive comments about the courses; no one got lost; everyone seemed to have a good time. Some even got a chance to view some unexpected wildlife with a hawk sighting and a couple of snake sightings (non-poisonous ones).
WPOC membership for 2009 now stands at 43. We had one new member join at this meet; welcome to Richard Szwaczkowski. In the results listing below where it is not apparent how many were in each group, there is a number in parentheses after the name to show the group size. Our next meet will be on May 9 at Camp Twin Echo; it will be our first event in that area.
Thanks to Laurie Opila, Joe Logan, Dave Battista, Terry Gillis, and Bill Unger for running registration. Thanks to Mary McElhinny and Bryon Roland for handling start/finish. Thanks to Laurie Opila for providing instruction. And, thanks to Luca & Alexis Rzewski, Bill Unger, Phil Martineau and Joe Logan for picking up the controls.
Here are the photos that Alexis took at the event.
