We had a superb day at PWFP Oak Ridge Campground for our National Ranking Event on Sunday. With a recorded high of 66 F, mostly sunny skies, and light winds, runners and walkers had the opportunity to enjoy a challenging set of courses designed and set by Francis Hogle on a fresh map from Jon Torrance. In addition to eager QOC members, we had terrific turnout from OUSA clubs DVOA, COC, WNCOC, CSU, BOK, and OCIN, as well as many first time orienteers, for a total of 208 starts! Thank you all for joining us.

Many, many thanks got to an outstanding group of volunteers, who gave their time, energy, and smiles to ensure everything went smoothly. Amy, Valerie, and Ben Roberts managed the e-punch operation in typical efficient fashion. Bill Wright, Charles Carrick, Will Chesarek, and Kevin Leary orchestrated arrivals and parking in the campground. Laura Linville, Florence Tan, and Tom Nolan greeted everyone and kept the constant flow of participants moving along safely at check-in. Heidi Onkst, Don Fish, Keg Good, Scott Sharp, Rob Field, and Michael Wood coordinated at advanced/intermediate and beginner starts with timing control and maps, a new experience for many. Francis coordinated our control pick-up that went quickly due to the extra effort from Keg Good, John Organek, Matthew Knight, Peter Minar, Ted Good, and David Doherty. Boris Granovskiy provided expertise as course consultant, and both Jon Torrance and Ted Good assisted Francis with vetting of control locations. Greg Lennon worked behind the scenes as registrar to maximize participation within our mandated constraints. Finally, I truly appreciate the advanced work from Charles and Bill on extensive coordination with PWFP on reservation and permit, delivery of the portable toilets, support in set-up and clean-up, and generally keeping me on track. Thank you all so very much for making this a fun, safe, and satisfying event!
