IUP Co-Op Recreational Park
12 August 2018
Orienteering Meet


It was a very nice day for August orienteering, temperatures in the upper 70's and a light breeze.  Despite the good weather, the turnout was low; it usually is at the IUP Co-Op Park.  We had 31 people show up and 21 starts.  Everyone seemed to have a good time, especially the younger kids.  At the end of the event, we had a surprise visit from Arthur Berry who brought us a 1980 orienteering map of the IUP Co-Op Park, Whites Woods and some surrounding private land.  We gave him one of our current maps.

Sherry Shank set the courses for this event.  The Novice (Yellow) course probably turned out to be a little too difficult judging by the finishing times and the two people who DNFed because they could not find the third control.  The 90-minute score course had a wide diversity in terms of which controls people visited.  There  was no control that was visited by all participants; and there was no control that was visited by fewer than two participants.  Although their scores are quite different, the three top participants all visited 18 controls; Katrina probably would have won the day if she had not made a 15+ minute error on one control.  Controls 114 and 121 were visited most (by 10 participants) - I would have bet on 110 before the event; controls 128, 132 and 140 were visited least (by 2 participants) - not a surprise considering where they were.

Thanks to Barbara Johnstone, Mark Puda, Naomi Jarvis, Sherry Shank and Ryan Knecht for handling Registration.  Thanks to Laurie Opila and James Fenn for helping with Start/Finish.  Thanks to Joe Logan and Andy Strat for conducting Instruction.  And thanks to Lee Bash, Ryan Knecht, Sherry Shank and Dave Battista for doing Control Pickup.
