This ranking period incorporates the 10 B meets held over the past 12 months. Four scores are needed to appear on the list, which may include credit days and scores on more than one course for the Joe Grant sprints. The Club Ranking Events (CRE) so far in 1997 are Calero, Indian Valley, China Camp, and Joe Grant. Thanks and suggestions both go to Joe Scarborough, our technical director.

The main changes from the final 1996 list are due
to the departures of Per Magnussen and Jorg Hofer. Per
left the second spot to Lans, who maintained his point level
while Thorsten moves up to third. Not making the list was Mikko
Laavainen, who returned to Finland after only three scores
averaging 76.8. Neeme Loorits also had three runs on Blue for
71.1, so should appear on the next list.

Kent Ohlund has added ten points to his '96 total, and well
he should as Thorsten added 16 to pull within a point. Kent's 104.9
at the excellent Calero event is the highest score so far this year.
Tapio dropped to third, while Werner Haag makes a surprise jump from
16th to fourth, mainly off his 103.8 points at China Camp. With three
scores and poised to join the next list are Mark Petersen and Josh
Frederichs. Josh has shown steady improvement this year on an average
of 65.0 points.

21 Hoare, Philip 4 42.2
22 Beuerman, Steve 5 40.9
23 DeWitt, Gerald 4 38.9
Steve Smith, the top Green runner last year, has been running on
Blue this year, leaving yours truly in first despite dropping a few points.
George Minarik and Dennis Wildfogel continue their dual, this time with
George ahead. Kathleen Lennon moved up to 5th due to the elimination of
some low scores from early 96, and Steve Jankowski
rocketed from 23rd last year to 6th. He has shown the most consistent
improvement among the Green runners this year, starting with a 68.6 at Calero
and ending with 96.8 at Joe Grant.
It is interesting to note that the top six on the Green list are legitimate A-category Green orienteers. In fact, the leaders on all courses except Brown are from the USOF age group for that course.
1 Abernathy, Aileen 8 60.8
2 Jacobs, Marsha 4 59.9
3 Maclean, Stephanie 4 54.5
4 Minarik, Leslie 9 52.9
5 Lewis, Robert 6 52.2
6 Wells, Kelly 4 49.8
7 Lanam, Jeff 5 45.1
Aileen Abernathy has shown an even more remarkable progression
than Josh and Steve, in that she improved through all four four races this year
from 57.6 to 74.4, to move her just ahead of Marsha Jacobs. Michael Poulsen,
last year's Brown titlist, has moved up to Green. Speaking of moving up, Gary
Kraght has averaged 100.5 points for his three Brown runs in '96, proving he is
ready to get back on Green...at least. Also missing from the list is Sarah
Minarik, one of the few A-category Brown competitors in the club, with only two
Browns averaging 77.4 points. A couple more average runs would give
her an easy first place on the list.
