BOK’s fourth annual ‘Fox Chase’ event was again a fast and fun event at Carolina North Forest.  After an early bobble, Matt Kirk went on to score an impressive 282 points, followed closely by Vladimir Stemkovski at 278.    I realized that in this race, because controls are assigned point values based on their objective distance from the trail, scores across different years are roughly comparable.  With this in mind, Matt’s performance on Saturday placed #3 on the all-time scorers list, and Vladimir placed #4 (behind Matt Kirk in 2022 and Erik Andersson in 2021).   For those interested in comparing scores across years, here are the results for 2022, 2021, and 2019.

Many orienteers enjoy recording their GPS track from an event and then uploading it to ‘Route Gadget’, an app that offers a great visual interface for learning from past orienteering events.  Here is a link to our Route Gadget page for this event — please consider uploading your GPS track to it if you can.

Imre created a plot of the top participants’ scores as they evolved over the course of the race:

Note that our winner, Matt, just eeked out his victory in the last minute!

We welcomed several newcomers, and hope that they can return to some of our events in the future.  To me, the Fall is the perfect season for orienteering, so consider coming back soon!

Many many thanks to Karen Strat who wrote me an unsolicited message several days before the event asking how she could help.  Karen printed our maps, provided support during the event, and contributed her many photos to our social media accounts.  Many thanks also to those who picked up our controls after the event:  West Carteret Co. NJROTC, Matt Kirk, Vladimir Stemkovski, Tatyana Stemkovski, and Kevin Frankowski.  Results follow.
