Orienteers;

The attendance at last evening's sprint was down a little. We only had 23 starters. The men's division, however, is growing. We had 13 solo men run the course, the second largest attendance in that group in the series. The weather was nice. The course was just a little bit more technical difficult than last weeks.

The man' race was pretty competitive. Dan Mattingly, back from his honeymoon, proved that he still has it by finishing in 19:12. Not that far behind was Steve Socha, who proved that he hasn't lost much either despite not having raced in a while. Third place went to Junior Eric Beyerle. Fourth overall was Laura Ferguson, running in only her 3rd race. Mary Hamilton was a half minute behind, finishing well ahead of her dad, Jeff. The group of Phil Adkins & Jack Ostertag finished between Laura and Mary.

Newcomers Laura Ferguson and Ajeth Rajapaksha both showed remarkable improvement the last two weeks while Eric Beyerle has gotten a little better with each race.

Several groups, such as David & Ryan Cleveland, have also participated in many of these races. Oftentimes these groups are the result of an experienced orienteer introducing a new comer to the sport. Others are family or friends who want a challenging walk together.

Thanks go out to Shelly Pennington for putting on a nice meet. Also to Paul Vice who handled registration (as he often does) before going out to race. Jim Carter, Laura Ferguson, Mike Bowen and Ken Kling helped pick up controls and clean up.

In the women's division, the standings didn't change but Laura Furgeson moved within 2 points of Shelly Pennington. Both of them have only had three races.
