Event Write-Up
By
Cool weather and a variety of courses greeted about 140 orienteers on National Orienteering Day at Coyote Hills. Jim Fish, along with Dean French and Nancy Lindeman, had labored long hours to refine the courses. Unfortunately, the course file sent to Bob Cooley for printing turned out not to be the final version. Since the controls were hung and the computer programmed with what was supposed to be the final version, there was considerable confusion until things got sorted out. Special thanks to Penny DeMoss for replacing a wayward control!
Since this was National Orienteering Day, we had prizes donated by USOF and Orienteering North America. First-timers placed their names in a box to win one of two Brunton compasses. I was happy to award both to young juniors, Kendra Barker and Copeland Green.
The White and Yellow courses were not affected by the mishaps. White was won by first-timer Paul Tompkins, who then went on to win the Medium Orange course; Paul had warmed up by helping to set up the Epunch tent and equipment. Artem Skorokhodov won the Yellow course, and the team of Craig Pierce and Erin Magers won the Short Orange course.
The Long Orange course was won by Steve Gregg. Russell Neilson won both the North and South Sprints.
Thanks go to all the helpers. This was the first time epunch was used at Coyote Hills. Peter Graube and Ruth Kadel handled the chaos with aplomb. Chuck Spalding and Werner Haag gave beginners clinics to many first-timers. Starts were handled by Donna French and Toby Ferguson. Finishes were handled by Alan Glendenning, Meg Gerstner, and Nancy Lindeman. Controls were speedily picked up by Steve Haas, Mark Blair, Jay Hann, Mitsumi Sugizaki, and one person whose name I didn’t get. Jim, Dean, and Nancy hung the controls, helped set up, and filled in as needed.
