Seneca Creek Smokey Glen
Please note that the Orange through Blue courses had a road crossing with a control on each side. The time taken to cross the road safely was subtracted from the overall time, posted to this page. However, the splits on AttackPoint and WinSplits, and the times fed into RouteGadget include the road crossing time. -Valerie
It was a frosty, cold morning as orienteers from around the region gathered at Smokey Glen Farm for the 2018 Mid-Atlantic Championships and National Ranking Event. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 hardy adventurers made their way out onto the excellent orienteering courses designed and set by Nadim Ahmed. The courses included some areas that were only recently mapped by Nadim for our enjoyment. As an added bonus, runners were able to take part in team relays in the afternoon after temperatures had moderated at least a little. And while it was chilly outside, we were able to stay warm before and after our runs in the large and thankfully, heated facility at Smokey Glen Farm. The location worked out great for the Championships, and hopefully, we will be able to stage many more events at the facility in the years to come.
The team scoring for the Mid-Atlantics is a tad complicated, and I don't pretend to understand it completely. The various Mid-Atlantic clubs receive points based on the number of their members who participate and on how well they perform in the races. Then the relay results are added to the mix, and the final point totals tallied. I'm told by folks with better math skills than I that this year's Broken Compass Award for top performance at the Mid-Atlantics goes to the Delaware Valley Orienteering Association. Congratulations DVOA! We look forward to the chance to reclaim the Broken Compass at next year's Championships.
I'd like to take the opportunity to thank again everyone who contributed their time and talents to staging this event. They include the set-up crew of Sarah Fish, Sean Fish, Michelle Fish, Sean Wilson, Nadim Ahmed, Valerie Meyer, Amy Louden, and Sandy Fillebrown of DVOA, all of whom arrived at 7 AM to begin making preparations for a busy day.
Jody Landers handled the parking duties, and Frances Hogle, Tom Nolan, Sam Listwak, Daniel Heimgartner, and the wonderful Heidi Onkst all braved the cold to run the starting gates. Cecilia Landers, Florence Tan, Stephanie Coffin, Erin Brandt, Jane Leggett, Diana Aleksieva, Sarah Fish, and Phill Wadsworth handled registration. Greg and Kathleen Lennon trained a few orienteering newbies and provided emotional support to the Meet Director.
Finally, when everyone else was finished, and on their way home, someone had to go back out into the woods and collect all of the controls. Those people included Videlin Aleksiev and his daughter Diana, Chris Gross, Mike Dickey, Kim and Anne Jepsen, Tom Wells, Jon Torrance, Nadim Ahmed and Sam Kolins of DVOA. Ted Good handled the re-organizing of the controls after they were retrieved. Thanks to one and all for your efforts.
