Photographic Evidence
Happy Interscholastic champs Woodinville Montessori School taking their trophy back home with them to Washington state. 2nd from left, Marissa Roecks. Far right, Robin Wyatt-Stone.
Even though the pressure was on, Bill Ketring never let them see him sweat.
One of many runners crossing the finish line on fumes.
Lots of team spirit and encouragement got many runners to the finish. Ashley Hernandez (left) trails Oliver Roy.
Typical log jam at the finish line (plus, it was sort of dry under the tent).
Wet & haggard runners on Day 1 (a not-so-gentle reminder that orienteering is a rain or shine event).
Arnold Willen & Bill Ketring smiling because Valerie was there to bail them out with e-punching. (Although it looks to me like Bill is about to deliver an "e-punch" to the printer.)
From the "GO" control to finish with everything they had.
What the Interscholastics was all about (besides the pure fun of DuPont State Forest terrain).
Let's see what'll happen if you push this button...
Day 1 controls drying out, but happily safe & sound.
Event Director Charles McComas (at right) happy with no current emergencies. With him (from left) Joseph Huberman and George Minarik.
