Storck Park, Section 36
Approximately 80 people enjoyed a hot and sunny evening of Billygoat Orienteering at Storck Park in Bear Valley. In a Billygoat event, all racers start together in a mass-start, and are allowed to follow other competitors. This head-to-head competition makes for an exciting race. Some of the fast, young bucks were able to keep up with Ian Moore for the first half of the race, but in the end the experienced orienteers topped the results sheet. Ian Moore won the longer Billygot Gruff course, ahead of Trond Jensen and Bill Spencer. Jen Jolliff won the women’s Gruff, with Karen Bronga in second. The shorter course was “Wee” in name only. It provided plenty of challenging navigation and terrain for the participants. Like the Gruff, the Wee was a family affair, as Dan Billman was the fastest man, and Anne Billman was the fastest woman.
This meet was put on by Cory Smith, with help from Linda Smith and Art Harmon. Thanks to Resource Data, Inc for printing the maps.
