          Orienteers were challenged by courses that stayed mainly on the former golf course area of Elk Creek Park; the section known as Meadow Ridge.  MetroParks is trying to restore native prairie in some areas and replanting native forest trees in others.   The many old golf cart paths were the highways of orienteers, but forays off the trail through waist-high grasslands and patches of thick woods presented quite the challenge in identification of subtle terrain and vegetation features.

 

In addition to the normal TROL/WARS season courses, this event was the Navy JROTC Area 3 Orienteering Championship, Qualifier for the 2023 Navy Nationals.  11 School JROTC units from Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and New York brought teams.   The JROTC competition was dominated by host unit Hamilton HS, and Wheeling HS from Illinois.  In High School Varsity, Wheeling HS had the top 3 Varsity female runners, while Hamilton had the top 3 male runners, resulting in an apparent tie with both teams achieving a maximum possible score.  Tie-breaker procedures looked to the 4th and 5th place team members, resulting in Hamilton coming out on top.

 

Weather for the meet was cool and cloudy, appropriate for early December.  Temperatures stayed above freezing, reaching into the 40’s, but the sky remained leaden with low overcast and a little very light mist toward late afternoon.

 

One young orienteer found a set of car keys far out in the park, and brought them back to the finish.   Somewhat later in the day, we managed to re-unite them with the owner (a hiker, not an orienteer) who had lost them.
