Sacramento Bar

April 22, 2012

By Marsha Jacobs
Event Director

Who knew there would be temperatures in the 90s in April? Congratulations go out to all the brave participants who came out and did their best despite the extremely hot weather in the Sacramento area this weekend.

Jennifer Kerr set five very interesting and challenging courses for this event. A good showing on White came from both Scout Troop 139 and the Camellia Waldorf School. Good job! Locals Mike Christensen and Kathy Tegtmeier and their pooch Delila carried first place on the Yellow course. The Terwilligers earned top honors on the Orange course. Speedy orienteers from BAOC took first on Brown (Christine Brew) and the top three places on Red (Joseph Doetsch, Jonas Kjall, Mikkel Conradi). We even had a visitor from Norway—thanks to Terje Mathisen for joining us!

Special kudos to the team of Rob and KC Wells, who blasted their way through White, Yellow and Orange in spite of the sweltering temperatures!

As always, we cannot succeed at these events without our amazing volunteers. Tremendous thanks go to the following people who gave so much of their time to ensure a spectacular day:
