Blue Mountain Local Meet Results

June 18, 2005

After a week of 85F+ temperatures and extremely high humidity in the Hudson Valley, the Blue Mountain local meet fell on a beautiful day, when the temperatures stayed in the low to mid-70s, and some of the water at the water controls even remained undrunk. Close to 100 people, including a couple of large groups on the yellow course, turned out to try the challenging courses on one of the most technical of HVO’s maps, Peekskill’s Blue Mountain Reservation. Looking at the results, the highlights included Eddie Bergeron winning both the blue course and the sprint, and Kseniya Popova, Evalin Brautigam, and Pavlina Bautigam showing the guys how it’s done, coming in 1^st overall on green, 1^st overall on white, and 2^nd on red, respectively. Additionally, the HVO President’s grandson, TJ Hawes, successfully completed a white course (with only a little outside help and a couple of rest stops) in 2^nd place among groups. It looked like a good time was had by all, and Hudson Valley Orienteering has kindly agreed to donate 75% of the meet proceeds to the US Foot Orienteering Team.
