It was a lovely sunny day in the upper 60's for QOC's October 20 event at Cunningham Falls outside of Thurmont, MD. The chance to orienteer in some of our most challenging terrain drew 207 members and friends to Catoctin Mountain, with a total of 160 starts. Fifty JROTC students made a strong showing, with 43 from Loudoun County High School. It was also great to see so many families with young orienteers enjoying the fall colors.
This event was possible only because of a group of dedicated volunteers, for this event and throughout the season. Ken Walker, Jr. designed a full suite of courses that tested competitors on the climbs and traversed the charcoal platforms. Ryan Stasiowski helped set up the venue and opened registration; then Harry Jones and Greg Palardy took over to help people get onto their courses. Alex Azarof, Michael Dickey, and Charlotte Banfield, assisted by daughters Louise and Amélie, provided helpful beginner instruction. Michael Dickey and Sydney Dixon got more time in the woods as they picked up controls. Richard Briggs retrieved directional signs. Special thanks to: Maryland VPs David and Reiko Rager who also helped with control pick up; Mike Newman who arranged the park permit and on-site medical support from Austere Medical Support with Craig Millin and team; Craig Shelden for his help with membership information; Sid Sachs who keeps our statistics, Greg Lennon for running registration, membership and the website; Sharmagh Yepremian who directs our volunteers and social outreach activities; Kathleen Lennon who directs publicity; and finally to our e-punch gurus Valerie Meyer and Amy Louden - huge thanks.
