Yellow Creek S.P. South
Night Orienteering Meet
5 May 2018


It was a dark and stormy night. :-)  Actually, it was rainy throughout the event with a temperature of about 50-55.  Our night events usually have relatively small turnouts.  The weather, in combination with the occurrence of the Pittsburgh marathon the next day, definitely kept that trend alive.  We had 24 people who came out, with only 12 starts.  Everyone seemed to have a good time.  The only complaint I heard was that one of  the reflectors we put up with each control had fallen to the ground.  

Ryan Knecht was meet director.  He designed a challenging course.  A few of the far controls were not reached by anyone.  However, the highest point control (75) was reached by one person, although he paid the price by being 10 minutes late.  Nearly all participants went to control 71, one of the higher valued controls.  Surprisingly, the winner did not go to 71.  We also had one team visit one control twice (sorry, it only counts once).  The most controls that anyone visited was 22; the least was 5.

Thanks to Sherry Shank and Laurie Opila for handling registration.  Thanks to Ryan Knecht, Sherry Shank and Mary and Paul Sleppy for helping with control pick up.
