Related Event Information
BAOC is excited to be hosting the 2011 U.S. Interscholastic Championships. This will be in conjunction with our A-meet on our large map at Pacheco State Park.
The Pacheco A-meet will be the highlight of the Spring orienteering season. BAOC's map of the area atop Pacheco Pass (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacheco_Pass) in Pacheco State Park (http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=560) was field checked and drawn in 2008 by Vladimir Zherdev. The terrain is the classic oak woodland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_oak_woodland) found in Bay Area parks with many wonderful views. There is very little poison oak and it is easily avoidable.
The weekend format will be a Friday afternoon Sprint, Saturday Middle course, and Sunday Long course. USOF sanctioning has been obtained. The USOF Board approved the Interscholastic Championship bid in their June meeting.
More information will be posted here periodically.
