This was our third visit to Soft Rock Recreation Area - a gem of a location for orienteering outside of Corvallis. Despite the technical orienteering and the chilly conditions, all 55 of our participants managed to complete their courses today!

 

Some standout performances included a battle amongst members of the Reintjes family for the top two spots on the Advanced Beginner course (with Lauris and Brandon pulling out a narrow victory over Ali and Beata); newcomer Leland Holmes and his daughter winning the Beginner course; ad Will Dickinson posting the fastest time on the Advanced course despite also collecting controls in the process! 

​

As always, we could not have held this event without our great volunteers. Kat Franchino and Garth Flint helped with beginner instruction and general event administration; Tristin Anderson and Karen Brown-Wilson helped with setup; Malcolm Lowe, Will Dickinson, Michael Kelly, Colleen Bue, and Kris Short helped with control pickup. A huge thank-you to all of you!

​

Results are below. You can see the split times here.

 

A handful of photos photos, including a few of the more picturesque control locations, are here. If you have cool photos from today's event, please add them here.

​

Finally, check out the courses and GPS replays of some of the participants here. Please add your routes if you have them!

​

GrizO events shift north for the next three weeks: Lion Mountain on April 15, Lone Pine on April 23, and Big Arm (a brand-new venue for orienteering!) on May 1st. We hope to see you there!
