Yellow Creek State Park (South Side)
Orienteering Meet
7 June 2015
It was an exceptionally nice day for orienteering, perhaps a little
warm in the afternoon. Nevertheless, the turnout for the event
was fairly low; we had only 31 starts with 49 participants. As
this was our first use of Yellow Creek South for a daytime event; we
had hoped for a better showing.
Jim Wolfe was meet director. He designed some very challenging
courses. The orange course in particular seemed to be extremely
difficult based on the results. However, it was probably more of
a case of participants jumping in over their heads rather than any
control placement problems. Most of the DNFs took well over an
hour to reach the fifth control; the only person to complete the course
reached that point in about 22 minutes.
Thanks to Christy Freeman, Eric Steinbring and Tom & Linda Gray for
handling registration. Thanks to Ryan Knecht for helping with
start/finish. Thanks to Sherry Shank and Laurie Opila for
covering instruction. Thanks to Joe Logan, Ryan Knecht, Naomi
Jarvis and Curt Mertz for picking up controls. And thanks to Ryan
Knecht for making some "Public Welcome" signs to try to attract
passers-by to our events.
Results are posted below; you can also follow this link to see everyones splits for their courses.
Alexis Rzewski has posted some photos from the event here
Many are photos of control locations; but there is also a photo of his winning route on the red course.
Our next event, the first of the Fall season, will be at Blue Spruce
Park on August 9. We will be using a new map of that park.
