Details
Director: Mike Minium Registrar: Guy Olsen
Overview Orienteering
Cincinnati will host 3 races over 3 days.
Races will have courses for all ages and abilities and will be open to
anyone. The events will take place in East
Fork State Park in Clermont County,
Ohio, just east of Cincinnati.
Saturday and Sunday will be the Orienteering USA Junior National
Championships, with awards based on 2-day total time. Interscholastic and Intercollegiate classes
will be offered all 3 days for Junior participants, but only Sat and Sun will
count toward championship awards.
The Races All races are Nationally Sanctioned by
Orienteering USA. All races will have
all normal “A” categories for people of all ages. Go to Race Details
for more information about each race.

Junior
Nationals
Individuals Each individual is eligible for individual
awards, regardless of whether they are on a team.
Classes: College Varsity
Male and Female, College Junior Varsity Male and Female, High School Varsity
Male and Female (grade 12 and younger), Junior Varsity Male and Female (grade
12 and younger), Intermediate Male and Female (grade 9 and younger), Primary
Male and Female (grade 6 and younger)
Teams Teams of 3 to 5
members. Each member runs his/her course
individually. The best 3 times from each
of the two days contribute to standings for team awards. Teams can be a mix of male and female at the
same level, for example a varsity team can be composed of any combination of 3
to 5 Varsity Males on 8 Green B and Varsity females on Brown B. The scoring system compensates for the fact
that they are on different courses.
Classes: College Varsity,
College JV, HS Varsity, HS JV, Intermediate.
There are separate awards for school teams (all members from the same
school), JROTC teams (all members from the same unit), and club teams (all
members from the same orienteering club but different schools). This is also the Air Force JROTC National
Championship with special awards for Air Force JROTC units.
See the Orienteering
USA eligibility rules, especially A12 (eligibility) and A35-37 (College,
HS, and Junior Nationals). You must be
an OUSA member to be eligible for awards.
