South Park
Orienteering Meet
25 September 2022


 The weather forecast for the day was ominous; however, the rain stopped about 45 minutes before the event was to begin and much of the day was sunny. Undoubtedly, the forecast caused at least some of the 10 "no-shows" (people who preregistered and didn't come). Nevertheless, we had 32 starts from the 44 people who attended. Generally, things worked out well, although there were a few problems at the computer (see below).

Alexis Rzewski was the event director; he offered five courses from Beginner thorough Advanced Long. Participants on most of the courses were happy with the course and their results. Many people on the Advanced Long came back with burrs and there was a little grumbling about the green areas around some controls (mostly just saying "That's how Alexis sets controls"). There were also two instances in which controls that were quite close to each other lead to mispunching.

The splits are incomplete because of foul-ups at the start/finish computer. Tyler Smith's and Kevin Fisher's splits were lost; they are listed in the results correctly because their time was manually recorded. Because the splits are incomplete, Route Gadget was not set up for the courses. We had our youngest participant of the year as 3-month old Gage Fisher went around the Beginner course with his Mom.

Thanks to Dave Battista for doing rapid vetting. Thanks to Sherry Shank, Naomi Jarvis, Jen Livingston and Charlie George for handling registration/check-in. Thanks to Jim Wolfe for helping with start/finish. Thanks to Joe Logan for conducting instruction. And thanks to Christee & John Homan, Jen Livingston, Charlie George, Scott Patterson and Alexis Rzewski for doing control pickup.
