Summer Solstice Series 2025

The series finished up Friday evening, June 27, after the last Tuesday event being postponed due to heat wave.  It was looking pretty questionable Friday evening as the skis opened and dropped some 20+ mm of rain as the registration and SI team were setting up and waiting for Cathy and Andrew to return from putting out controls in the deluge.

However, it all cleared up in time for 39 participants to take the tour of Rockcliffe Park.  New comer, Benjamin Miske, took first place getting all of his controls in only 36 minutes.  Robbie Graham can in soon after having cleared the course.  They took the top 2 spots overall, followed by Eric Kemp, Paul Lefebvre,  James Purdy (new member this year,) juniors, Dylan Revells and Holly Smith, Aidan Minto, Catharine Clark (another new member) and Cathy Bakker.  The rain even held off long enough for the group to enjoy freezies (provided by the Eamer family, many thanks), some ice tea and pizzas.   

Of note - the third finisher Friday night was young Felix Eamer, likely powered by the prospect of a freezie:)

Many thanks to our meet directors and controllers, our timing teams, our registration teams, our greeters and all the others who have helped with set-up and take down of equipment, mini clinics and those who lend a hand where ever they can.

Stay tuned for news of summer sprint events, and for our fall events in September - November.
