College Park

A surprising day of beautiful weather presented itself on Sunday morning, despite the forecast that probably scared folks away. Instead of clouds and rain, we had sunshine and temperatures in the 70’s. There were 75 individuals and groups who ran the course. The event was a Score-O, set by Jon Torrance with 30 controls each worth 1 point. A 1 point penalty was imposed for exceeding the time limit and then for each minute over 60 minutes.

The course was challenging. Only 2 runners found all 30 controls in less than 60 minutes. Ken Walker, Jr., had the fastest time finding all 30 in 48 minutes. Second was Jan Merka with a time of 54 minutes. Anders Sundstrom found 29 in 60 minutes. All the scores are listed below.

Special thanks to all of the volunteers who helped with to set up and clean up; run registration and start/finish; and collect controls: Mike Lieder, Elliott Hamilton, Mary Newman, Mihai Sirbu, Mark Mace, Kathleen and Greg Lennon, and Jon Torrance.

A big thank you to the Terrapin Trail Club for sponsoring the meet and especially co-president Sarah Katz-Hyman, who negotiated the arrangements with the University, and TTC member Tony Warner, who picked up controls.
