RESULTS, SCHOLASTIC CHAMPIONSHIPS, 2008

As the time for sunrise came and went on Saturday, 15 November, old Sol was nowhere to be seen.

Instead, the sky was gray and overcast.  The temperature was just above freezing, with a brisk wind

out of the north.  And to make matters worse, there was a steady light rain.  All combined--a "perfect"

day for a run through Otter Creek Park.  We had a total of 100+ orienteers from 8 Kentucky high schools

competing for the title of 2008 Kentucky High School Orienteering Champions.  Meet Director Bruce Moore

had his band of volunteers all decked out in their ponchos and rain suits.  Dan Mattingly had designed

excellent courses to test the orienteering skills of the competitors.  Now it was up to the competitors

to show their stuff.  Competitors were vying for both team and individual awards.

VARSITY DIVISION:  Derek McCarty, a member of Team A from Apollo High School led the way in the varsity

boys division with a time of 1:42:18 on the very difficult Orange 1 course.  Nathaniel Elrod from Harrison

High School was 2nd in that division.  Lainy Barrick, a member of Team B from Madison Southern High School

was the winner in the varsity girls division with a time of 2:56:06 on the equally difficult Orange 2 course.

Electronic punching was used in the varsity division.  Split times can be found here.

Mary Hamilton ran the Orange 1 course as an independent.  She smoked the course in an excellent time of 1:28:07.

Madisonville North Hopkins entered one team in the varsity team division, and they won, with a combined time

of 6:48:26 (quickest three runners).  Team A from Madison Southern High School was second in a time of 8:06:09.

JR VARSITY DIVISION:  Ethan Poole, a member of Team B from Apollo High School, was the individual winner in the

junior varsity boys division with a time of 51:07.  Adam Crabtree, a member of Team A from Apollo High School, was

2nd in a time of 1:00:39.  In the junior varsity girls division, Kaybri Ward of Team A from Apollo High School

finished first with a time of 1:06:24.  Sara Cummings from Warren Central High School came in 2nd with a time 

of 1:13:28.

Helen Hagg ran the Yellow course as an independent, and finished in an outstanding time of 38:30.

NOVICE DIVISION:  Kenny Joinen of Warren East High School won the boys novice division in a time of 34:09.

Kelsey Joest of Harrison High School won the girls novice division in a time of 35:03.
