Meet Results

  Lake Crawford

Kings Mountain State Park| 4-Mar-2006 | Dan Davis, meet director.

[ Split results on Green and Red courses ]

The world environment does appear to be changing. You can argue about global warming but when I am Meet Director at Lake Crawford and it doesn't rain that says something odd is taking place.

It was a great day for orienteering and we had an extra large turnout, especially since we were hosting the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School system JROTC championship. Since each JROTC team consisted of 4 people, we had quite a number of runners in the woods, especially on Orange.

Five courses were set consisting of White, Yellow, Orange, Green and Red. Red and Green were set up for e-punch and the courses were designed to develop long distance leg skills. The feedback that I got was mostly positive.

Considering that the attendance was on par with an A Meet, I felt that things went smoothly and that is largely due to the assistance that I had from other members of the club. In fact, so many turned out to help that I run the risk of not mentioning everyone. Ian Prince, David Alexander, Bill Ketring, Charlie Martz, Allmuth Perzel all were ready to help with instruction. John Fairley was a big help in getting in controls. James Sisk had the e-punch system humming along. Howell Peterson did the registration, an especially daunting task with this many people. Rob Christian spent a day in the woods laying out the Orange course. Oh, and one other, my Assistant Meet Director, Don Christensen, who, at last count, had spent three days in the woods helping me set up all the courses other than Orange. In fact, Don and Howell were back after the event to bring in more controls, stands, and e-boxes. It's good to know retired people as an event of this magnitude requires around 14 man-days to put on.

Be sure and check results on Red. We have some really interesting club competition going on. Too bad Walter Siegenthaler and Jim Hall were not able to be there.
