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.
