Event Write-Up

By &

It was a beautiful Fall day for our annual event at Morgan Territory. Evan Custer set the courses, which took participants through rolling oak and manzanita forest and grassy clearings, with views of Mt. Diablo’s North Peak and summit.

The courses had plenty of navigational challenge and route choice, features that were appreciated by the participants. The event served as the 2008 BAOC Club Championships, and a record number of cows were on hand to watch us compete.

The top BAOC finishers in the age categories are as follows (please see the full listing of results below for finishers in the non-age and recreational categories):

On the White course, in the 10-and-younger female category (F-10), the top finishers were Hannah Kopisch, Elena Belk, and Katie Petersen. In the M-10 category the top finishers were Gavin Williams, Rory Maclean, and Davy Williams.

On the Yellow course, in the F-14 category, Lia Warner and Megan McCandless were the top finishers. In the M-14 category, Phillip Kopisch, Daniel Kopisch, and William Morris were the top finishers.

On the Brown course, in the F55+ category, Patty Clemo, Joan Roos, and Rosemary Johnson were tops among BAOC members. For M65+, Jim Fish, David Meredith, and Alan Houser were the BAOC winners.

On Green, in the F35+ category, top BAOC finishers were Stephanie Maclean, Johanna Merriss, and Ana Herreros. M50+ BAOC winners were Steve Gregg, Matthias Kohler, and George Minarik. M-18 top finishers were Cameron Ferguson, Daniel Kopisch, and Philipp Kopisch.

On the Red course, the M35+ class was hotly contested, with the top three runners—all BAOC members—finishing within 2½ minutes of each other. New BAOC member Blas Lopez came in first, Ido Green second, and Tapio Karras third.

On Blue, Penny DeMoss won the "Amazon" class, while Jonas Kjall, Ben Legg, and Francois Leonard topped the competitive M-21+ class.

Of course, this event would not have been possible if not for the committed effort of many volunteers. (Please contact us if we forgot to acknowledge anyone below.)

Evan Custer set excellent courses, and with help from Martin Kunz, placed all the controls and water. Martin vetted the courses. Our mapping director, Bob Cooley created the maps and control description sheets. Rosemary Johnson directed the e-punch team that included Jim Fish, Evan Custer, and Greg Ehrensing. For registration, Ev and Jean Beuerman did their usual terrific job, with help from Martin Kunz.

David Meredith and Cameron Ferguson worked starts. Peter Graube and Rex Winterbottom did a great job as parking attendants at Indian Springs Ranch. Toby Ferguson delivered several beginner clinics from 9:30 to 11, which were well received by our many newcomers. Jim Fish arrived early and helped us set up the Start and Finish areas. Controls were picked up by Mark Blair, Jim Fish, Martin Kunz, Nancy Lindeman, Luc Poppe, Mark Rice, Theo Verhoven, and Kelly Wells. Kelly coordinated the control pick-up.

The club thanks Debra, the owner of Indian Springs Ranch, for her generosity in allowing us to park on her land, and the East Bay Regional Park District and their supervising ranger, Roger Epperson.
