Orienteering

Last Wednesday’s Orienteering B-meet on the Golden Horn map doubled as a fundraiser for the Yukon Orienteering Association’s junior team.

The rain showers stopped just in time and more than 65 people came out to participate and support the junior team.

The courses ranged from a 1.5-kilometre beginners to the 6.25-kilometre-long advanced.

In the beginners’ course Lynda MacKeigan topped the field in 13:36, with Shawn Kitchen and Ben Traynor following.

In the intermediate course, Liam Kiemele led an impressive field of more than 30 participants, finishing in 26 minutes flat, followed by Caelen McLean and Perry Hynes.

Kendra Murray and Dahria Beatty tied for first on the short-advanced course, both finishing in 51:18, with Ryan Kelly and Phil Hoffman close behind. The grueling long-advanced course was easily won by Canadian champ Pam James in 67:05.
