The New England Orienteering Club

Mt. Tom, Holyoke, MA
May 17, 2015
Meet Director: Phil Bricker

 It was a warm and buggy day, but that didn’t prevent a slew of advanced orienteers from tackling the challenges of Mt. Tom’s Northeast Kingdom. Ian Smith took the honors on the blue course; Misha Lipatov, in second, also had a notable performance. Ethan Childs, in spite of a surprise when his map didn’t match his clue sheet, easily won the red. Alex Jospe rocked the green course; then did the blue course as a cooldown!  Tim Parsons also had a fine run on green, the class of the over-50 field. The ageless George Walker easily took the brown.  

This was the second stage of five for the New England Challenge Series. There will be three more stages in the fall. How these stages will be scored hasn’t yet been determined:  stay tuned.

I had a lot of help on the day of the meet, including Sam Levitin (registration), Peter Gagarin (starts), Jim Paschetto (results), and Will Daniels, Ian Smith, and Peter Gagarin (picking up controls).
