Keystone State Park
Orienteering Meet
8 September 2019
It was an excellent day for orienteering, a mixture of sun and clouds
with the temperature about 70. We had a pretty good turnout with
67 people participating and 37 starts. Everyone seemed to have a
good time with only a few negative comments about vegetation.
Ryan Knecht set the Beginner and Novice courses with more climb than
usual (forced by the terrain). No one complained about the climb;
it just slowed the times a bit. Ryan's Intermediate course had a
winning time that was reasonable for that level. Of the two
advanced courses, the Advanced Short had the highest km/min time for
the winner; this had been predicted before the event; it was the result
of some significant climb and the requirement to go through a fair
amount of light green forest. The Fishers ran away with Ryan's
Advanced Long course with each of them more than 25 minutes faster than
the nearest competitor. Kevin Fisher was even the fastest in 10
of the 14 legs of that course.
Thanks to Sherry Shank, Laurie Opila, Linda Gray and Andy Shissler for
handling registration. Thanks to Barbara Johnstone, Ryan Knecht
and Tom Gray for doing Start/Finish. Thanks to Naomi Jarvis for
providing instruction. And thanks to Alexis Rzewski, Ryan Knecht,
Christee and John Homan and Naomi Jarvis for doing control pickup.
