Sierra College

April 26, 2014

By Marsha Jacobs
Event Director and Course Setter

About 90 people showed up for GCO's first event on our brand new Sierra College map! The day before the event the weather didn't seem like it wanted to cooperate. We had lots of rain and wind and even some thunder! But on event day the weather was just right and perfect for a run around the campus.

Newcomers Urtzi Iglesias, Barbara Bomfim and James Spence all did very well at their first GCO event. We know we'll be seeing you again soon!

Many thanks to Rex Winterbottom for creating this map. No wonder he did so well on the courses! Thanks also to Joy Pelton Welch at Sierra College, who worked with me to complete all the necessary paperwork so we could use this venue.

Our wonderful helpers at the meet included Dave Takacs, Jennifer Kerr, Paul Keeton, Mats Jansson, Emma Jansson, Teresa Jansson and Norbert Wagner. These are the same people who consistently assist at every meet. We would love it if some of the many other orienteering participants would volunteer to help us at a future event. Special thanks to Jennifer Kerr and Mats Jansson who went out of their way to transfer all the necessary equipment days before the event, and to Mats Jansson for picking up all the controls at the end of the day.

We hope to see you all next month on May 18 at Sacramento Bar!
