Results and report by Race Director Pat DeRuyter
Eight teams participated in the eighth annual ASPA Orienteering Event at Creamer's Field on Sunday, March 22, following the Open North American.
Maria Bray and Natasha scored a perfect 1000 points in the 60 minute running class to repeat as Champion. She ran nearly 6 miles on the various trails to collect all of the 20 "controls".
Matt Bray with Rainy and Giilbert collected 19 of the 20 skijoring controls for a total of 950 points and a win in the 60 minute skijoring class. The map showed an incorrect placement of "control" #22 or Matt would have collected all 20 controls. Matt traveled 11.4 miles but was assesed a 40 point penalty for being 4 minutes late returning to the start/finish area. Lisa Stuby with Killae came in second with 660 points and Gail Davidson with Tobi were third with 610 points.
Sara Elzey with Ayla won the 30 minute skijor class with a total of 590 points. Peggy Raybeck with Chico came in second at 520 points and Andy Warwick with Zip were third with 420 points. Andy was assesed a 90 point penalty for a late return due to what he described as a "wild goose chase."
Clarice Dukeminier with Crisco won the 30 minute walking class with a total of 150 points.
