Mississippi Bar
By
Jennifer Kerr
Rain the day before,
rain the day after, but we had a beautiful sunny spring day for our meet at Mississippi
Bar. About 111 people came, including ROTC teens, Scouts, newcomers and GCO and
Bay Area Orienteering Club vets.
Dave Ingram set some
fun and challenging courses that visited the park’s varied attractions. The
orange, brown and red courses spent considerable time atop the rock piles and
furrows. The wildflowers and butterflies just added to the pleasant day.
Lou and Ellen
Nishimura won the white course in 36:20. Tops on yellow were Katrina Alaimo, Brendyn Sullivan and Ryon Miller of Rio Linda JROTC, their second course of the
day. Winners on orange were Web Jordan, Linda Koziol
and Rachel Hansen of BAOC in 74:20. BAOC’s Steve
Gregg took brown in 51:25. Martin Kunz of BAOC was victorious on red in 55:35.
The volunteers made
the meet run quite smoothly and I thank them for stepping forward. Besides coursesetter Dave, there were Stew Hintz, who made maps and
clue sheets and ran starts; Art Livingston and Ed Quartemont,
who handled registration; Dave Takacs who took care
of finishes; and Dwight Freund and Pete Olsen who helped with control pickups.
