Santa Fe Dam, Feb 2022

Santa Fe Dam Recreational Area, Irwindale

Sunday, February 27, 2022

A new start location led to some different and technical courses at Santa Fe Dam. Orienteers were treated to rocky wash running followed by long sprints across open fields. The rocks took their toll as one participant suffered a twisted ankle. Many thanks to the orienteers who suspended or abandoned their courses to help out: William Lauper, John Phillips IV, and Sage Thompson. Also big thanks to the lifeguard crew from Santa Fe Dam for their help in retrieving the injured participant and providing first aid service.

Alex Kiperman took a commanding lead on the Red course with a time of just over an hour and Ron Sandvick of San Diego had a similarly impressive run on Green. The brown course had a tricky control that tripped up a number of folks, but Ivan Konov managed to come out on top. Davin Schneider took the honors on the hotly contested Orange course and Adam Reilly had an impressive run on a longer than usual Yellow course. Wayne Cottrell whizzed through White as a warm-up before running Red and newcomer Jarrett Sorbello had the best time of the beginners on the White course.
