BAOC Results at U.S. Classic Champs
The weekend of Nov. 11–12, several club members traveled across the country to compete in the U.S. Classic Championships. This two-day, combined-time competition was held in the forests of the Quantico Marine Base in Virginia.
Tory Borish grabbed a silver medal in the elite F−21+ class. Marie-Josée Parayre took second in F40+. Evan Custer won a silver medal in M75+. Leslie Minarik won a bronze medal in F65+. Other BAOC competitors were Stacey Gordeeva, Greg Ehrensing, Rich Parker, and George Minarik.
All of us enjoyed the terrain—typical Eastern U.S. ridge and valley. It was quite runnable, and the fall colors were out in force.

- Notes:
- Marie-Josée "should have" won the Sprint (according to her watch time), but there was a mysterious timing error that "robbed" her of 27 seconds (placing her 8 seconds behind first place).
- The "3-day Combined" results, which were based on each person's best two of the three days, were open to all participants (e.g., including the Canadians, etc.)
These other BAOC members also participated:
Vicki Woolworth, F55+ George Minarik, M70+ Fyodor Konkov, M55+ Greg Ehrensing, M55+ Ken Vomaske, M55+ Matthias Kohler, M60+ Anastasiya Gordeeva, F-21+
The full results are available here (http://www.pnwof.org/goldrush2017/?page_id=27).
All in all, great BAOC results for the weekend, especially for the Long and Middle events, which were on very unfamiliar terrain. One of the participants commented "It was nice to feel the team spirit with our new uniform."
