From Event Director Craig Shelden:
We could not have asked for a prettier orienteering day. Clear skies, light wind, and mild temperatures combined for a great event all around as QOC defended our possession of the highly coveted Broken Compass Award for another year. We had over 200 individual orienteers and over 25 relay teams.

Course Setter Jay Gelman shared a few thoughts about the Rosaryville course design:

In the course setting clinic taught by QOC’s Francis Hogle, we learned that each course should be designed around a few feature legs that offer a variety of route choices and cover interesting terrain. For example, the green and red courses shared a similar featured leg (red 4-5 and green 3-4). There are at least two reasonable route choices between these controls. The northern route is longer but allows use of a trail while the straight line route is shorter but traverses some light green vegetation. There are similar choices to be made for other featured legs (blue 1-2, 7-8, and 14-15; red 1-2, 4-5, 8-9; green 2-3, 3-4, and 11-12; brown 2-3 and 3-4).

Major thanks go to Jay for setting a challenging and fun series of Individual courses and a great relay event – and then managing the relay. Thanks also go to David Onkst who organized QOC relay teams.
Thanks to everyone on the registration team who helped make sure each competitor got where they needed go: Iva Zicha, Jan Zicha, and Jesse Tubb.
We staffed a remote start with staggered starts and thanks go out to Jeff Dickey, Nick Grenier, Scott Sharp, and Laura Holian for making that happen.
We had some beginners come give Orienteering a try and all reported they had a lot of fun on their first time out – most plan to return. Credit for that success and our gratitude are due to our Beginner's Instruction team: John Vincent and Aaron Linville.
On the food side, Jody and Cecilia Landers served as Grill Masters and kept all carnivores happy with hot dogs as well as helping throughout the event. Courtney Shelden helped with set up and kept the snacks organized and hot water ready for runners finishing their courses.
Control pickup is always a challenge and shout outs are due to the control pickup team of John Baker, Daniel Pike, and Charles Carrick. The surge team helped cover gaps and ensured the relay controls were recovered with time to spare before dark: Special Thanks to Greg Lennon, Dave Levine, Lydia Andrews, Nadim Ahmed, Bob Hart, Michelle Fish, and Chris Gross.
Thanks for sign recovery go to Suzanne and Daniel Shelden for braving Route 301 on Sunday afternoon to bring back the signs so easily placed while most area residents slept in.
Don and Michelle Fish helped pack up and get ready for next week's event at Cabin John Park.
And last, but far from least, our epunch team started early and stayed late. Thank You Valerie Meyer, Amy Louden, Mary Snieckus, Sandy Fillebrown, and Tori Campbell!
