Orangevale Community Park
Sept. 27, 2014
By Jennifer Kerr
Event Director and Course Setter
It was a lovely, sunny and cool day at Orangevale Community Park for our first fall meet. The 107 participants included lots of young people and newcomers.
These included students from our co-sponsor, Casa Roble High School Air Force Junior ROTC (it's right across the street), as well as JROTC students from Del Campo, River City and Cordova high schools and young people from Sacramento State University and Boy Scout troops.
The River City JROTC team of Michael Warner, Jesse Arias and Joseph Lytle was fastest on White, with a time of 24:52. The winners on Yellow were Casa's Joseph D'Ascenzi, Tristan Adamson, Brenden Prime and Olivia Riehle in a blistering 17:59. GCO's Mats Jansson sped through the Orange course in 29 minutes flat.
Now for the thank-yous.
We had lots of help from the Casa students, who assisted with setting up, starts, finishes and the all-important control pickup. We love you all! They were Tristan Adamson,
Joe D’Ascenzi,
Brenden Prime,
Samantha Marion,
Cody Talbert and
Erik Chapman.
Also a big thanks to their teacher, Lt. Col. Kevin Houdek, who obtained the park permit as well as getting all the kids organized and enthused to join us.
And here are the profound thanks for our usual GCO crew:
- Control Hanging Help: Marsha Jacobs
- Setup: Norbert Wagner
- Beginner Clinics: Paul Keeton
- Registration: Marsha Jacobs, Mats Jansson, Connie Snow
- Starts: Jonas Libell
- Finishes: Dave Takacs, Paul Keeton
- Map Printing: BAOC's Map-Wizard Bob Cooley
