The gods smiled on the orienteering world at Hangman Tree, providing beautiful weather, scenery, and terrain for what was a spectacular day to be out finding controls. Daniel Heimgartner designed, and Bill Wright and Charles Carrick worked hard to set, challenging courses that provided competitors numerous opportunities to discuss the best route choices of the day.

One of the highlights of the day was the opportunity to host a delegation from Finland visiting to orienteer and sightsee. They had some great performances! Oona Pirinen (1st on Yellow), Paivi Pelkonen (Beige), Rauni Muikku (1st on Orange), Arja Heimonen (Orange), Jorma Nissila (1st on Green), Rolf Helander (Green) all finished in the top 3 on their respective courses.

This might be a bit of an exaggeration, but it seemed like just about everyone in the club pitched in to make this event go. As obstacles and challenges popped up, the team applied the Marine Corps maxim “Adapt, Improvise, and Overcome” expertly to ensure all went smoothly. There was super support provided by numerous members in the following areas:
Set up, Registration, and Parking – Aaron Linville, Dasa Merkova, Alex Merka, Mark Thomsen, Daniel Heimgartner, Patrick Hession
Range Control Coordination – Bill Wright
Beginner Instruction - Jon Torrance, Heidi Onkst, Aaron Linville
Control Pick-up - Charles Carrick, Will Chesarek, John Organek, Sam Listwak, Aaron Linville, Tavia Sullens, Patrick Hession, Max Ahmed, Alex Merka

What an awesome outpouring of help to make the day fantastic. QOC has the best members! Thank you to all who stepped up to pitch in. You all worked hard to make the day memorable for the 134 starts we had.
