MVOC Cold-O Grant Park January 14th,
2023
Meet Directors – Bob and Barbara Hays
The 2023
MVOC COLD-O was indeed cold, with temperatures in the low 30’s for the
duration. Fortunately, the sun came out
later and all those who tried the course quickly warmed up. We had a terrific turnout with 136
competitors in 65 starting groups. There
were a number of JROTC participants as well as some hardy Girl Scouts and brave
first-timers. Regional competitors came
from Cincinnati, Columbus and Indianapolis.
Several
of the controls were quite challenging, particularly if you tried to get them
all. Special congratulations to Eric
Olsen, Matthew Jourdan and Warren and Adam Mandrell
who managed to locate all 29 controls in less than 90 minutes. Eric edged out Matthew for the top honors
based on time by just 8 seconds!
Special
thanks to all those who helped including Matt and Sharon Bond and the Hamilton
NJROTC team led by Scott Eberwine for retrieving all
the controls.
