Day 1 - Brown X - Splits

The classes at LS yesterday went really well. Our coaches had designed a memory-O, where you get a map snippet at each control. They talked with teachers Amanda and Chris over lunch about orienteering. At least 3 of the students expressed interest in doing more orienteering outside of class, and Amanda feels pretty sure she'll be able to bring a team to IS Champs (or whatever they will be called). I wasn't there, which is great.

The first real team practice at CRLS went well. There were 11 kids who came, so that's something. They had fun. I wasn't there, which is great.

This weekend we're bringing Keegan, Vilppu, Tyra, Isabel, Juanma and Violeta to Letchworth. Ethan's foot is bothering him so he will not come.

Violeta, Juanma and Ethan are going out to Sudbury today to teach orienteering to three classes on Ed's new map.

Yesterday we found out that the high school will pay for a head orienteering coach, and for an aide (who will also coach one of the middle school teams). The cross-country coach chatted with us and was SO supportive. The athletic director addressed the team and was SO supportive. The trainer was really kind and agreed to show us around the training room later this week. Wow.

Let's just pause and celebrate, shall we?
