Bonelli Valentine Score-O Feb 2023

Bonelli Regional Park, San Dimas

Sunday, February 12, 2023

Despite "Big Game" Sunday, we had our largest Valentine Score-O on record. About 140 orienteers descended on Bonelli Park for a great course designed by Joe Vlietstra. The course was just the right level, with splits showing a variety of different routes being taken.

The big surprise of the day was the tie for first place! Jiali Bennie Zhu from Troy and Mikhail Biryukov of Beattie MS both cleaned the course and were punching the finish at the same moment (56:24). Their courses were entirely different, so they likely had no idea of their close competition until the results came out. Adult winning team Squirrely Squirrels graciously downsized their award so that the two youth could walk away with the big awards.

Alex Kiperman and James Prunty also managed to hit all the controls before time expired. Top woman was Eldorado's Noelani Lopez. She hit almost all of the course, but also was slightly overtime for a final score of 525 out of the possible 560. The day's premier category of Valentine Pairs was won by Team Finland. They are new to the area and we'll likely see more of them at future events. Congratulations to all of the candy winners!
