Pine Ridge Park
Orienteering Meet
12 November 2017

It was a cool (temperature in the low 40s) partly sunny day; excellent for orienteering.  Nevertheless, we had a relatively small turnout:  30 starts and 39 participants.  We were especially low in the beginner course as we usually get a fair number of scouts coming out, possibly because Pine Ridge is our last event of the year.  However, that didn't happen this time.

Everyone seemed to like Ryan Knecht's courses as there were many positive comments about the Novice and Score courses in particular.  Mark Lattanzi really tore up the Score course as he cleared it with more than 25 minutes to spare.  This was almost 30 minutes faster than the second place competitor who also cleared the course.  From the looks of the splits for the Score course, there were many different routes tried - far greater variety that is usually seen on a score course.

Thanks to Mark Puda, Barbara Johnstone, Al Sheaffer and Eric Steinbring for handling registration.  Thanks to Ryan Knecht for helping with start/finish.  Thanks to Joe Logan for doing instruction.  And thanks to Alexis Rzewski, John Huffman, Naomi Jarvis, James Fenn, Andy Karnavas, and Ryan Knecht for doing control pickup.

Pine Ridge is our last event of the year.  The next event will be a ski-O on Jan 7 at Laurel Ridge, provided the weather cooperates.
