Cold-O-2020

Miami Valley Orienteering Club

January 26, 2020  - Grant Park, Centerville Ohio

Weather: Temperatures were in the 30’s under mostly cloudy skies.

Attendance: A total of 74 people in 24 starting units.

Many, many thanks to those who helped with set up, cleanup, registration, training, logistics, software setup, control setting and control retrieval. The event would not have been possible without their help.  These volunteers were:

Matt Bond

Lynn Johnson

Jason Moening

Jim Hays

Amanda Hays

This Score-O event proved to be fun and challenging for all levels and there were excellent results from all of the groups.  There were many first timers and they all did extremely well.  The most experienced orienteers navigated to all but one of the difficult (high score) controls.  The high water conditions made the Holes Creek uncrossable (although a few hardy souls braved the cold water and got wet feet) and this added to the challenge and course length.  It was great to see so many Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts as well as the JROTC group from Beavercreek.  This was a great start to the New Year and we thank everyone who came out to this event.
