The 2024 Arctic Orienteering Sprint Series ended with an exciting, if somewhat rainy finale. The last event was a pursuit and since we mixed things up a bit this year and had three separate pursuits, I’ve listed the final order that racers would have come in if it had been an all-out pursuit race:
- Scott Patterson (Overall winner and winner of M 30-39)
- Allan Spangler (M 30-39)(+ 2:18)
- Ian Moore (Winner M 50-59)(+2:20)
- Alex Knapp (M 30-39)(+8:31)
- Max Romey (M 30-39)(+10:59)
- Cory Smith (Winner M 40-49)(+11:04)
- Dorn Van Dommelen (Winner M 60-69)(+13:20)
- Springer Moore (Winner M Under 18)(+14:12)
- Gary Snyder (M 50-59)(+15:30)
- Jen Jolliff (Overall women’s winner and winner of F 50-59)(+16:04)
- Julia Ditto (Winner F 20-29)(+20:54)
- Regan Sarwas (M 50-59)(+20:57)
- Bill Spencer (M 60-69)(+21:20)
- Todd Shearer (M 40-49)(+43:15)
- Mark Findlay (M 60-69)(+49:37)
- Peter Johnson (Winner M 70-79)(+52:07)
Many thanks to the meet directors, Cory Smith, Steve McKeever, Allan Spangler, Shelly Laws, and Brian Kirchner, for making this series happen. A special thanks to Steve for work on the timing spreadsheets and for Regan’s ongoing help with electronic timing questions. Mike helped with logistics on Wednesday so we could focus on the finale and Jen designed the champion glasses!
