Event ResultsMNOC Meet Results - Nerstrand Woods State Park / October 11, 2003The 2003 Minnegoat at Nerstrand State Park was a great success, despite the rain that blew in during the middle of the races. Owen Baird won the race in 1:58 followed by his brother Graham Baird (2:13:10) and Plamen Djambazov came in third by only 42 seconds (2:13:52) despite starting a little late but starting the race very calm. The first female finisher was Elin Sjolander (with a time of 2:39:26), who had to climb to the roof of the pavilion in the rain to retrieve her shirt after she finished! Julia Bohnen finished second with a time of 2:59:41. Several Minnegoat participants did not finish due to sprained ankles or the inability to see during the down pours. The rain made adding up the points for the Score-O rather difficult since many of the score cards were torn, we did our best. The first place winner with 22 points was Gary Sumner followed by Scott Lund with 15 points and Persons & Geutner team with 15 points. The Yellow course was won by Steve Schulstrom (34:06) after starting the Score-o and deciding he wanted to a course with some order. Arne Garvander took second place (37:57) and the Cattaneo Family came in third (44:50). The White couse was won by The Laraia boys (38:30), second place was taken by David Celland (40:00) and third place by Joe Carroll and Craig Lee (43:20). A big thanks to Keith Ottoson and Collan Zehnder for vetting and setting the course. Carol Ottoson, Heather Zehnder, and Heather Baird helped with registration and start/finish. Thanks to the many people who helped with control retrieval, including a member who did not race but came just to retrieve controls on that rainy Saturday. -- Heather Baird Courses: White, Yellow, Score-O , Minnegoat Comments, questions, and constructive criticism concerning the MNOC web pages may be e-mailed to: compass@mnoc.org |
