Santa Fe Dam - NJROTC Area Champs

Santa Fe Dam Recreational Area, Irwindale

Sunday, January 21, 2024

With a great new map by Misha Biryukov and a huge contingent of NJROTC cadets, the Santa Fe Dam event was truly spectacular. Misha's map, based on LiDAR data and hours of field-checking, improved the accuracy and updated the vegetation over our previous version. Everyone thought it was marvelous.

Misha and his father, Sergei, also were the course setters for the event and they set courses quite worthy of the NJROTC Area Championships. Being able to read the subtle details of the terrain and vegetation, along with a good bearing, were important skills.

Our sincere appreciation to the rangers and lifeguards at Santa Fe Dam for cooperation and assistance with first aid and safety and to the Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation for their partnership.

Unfortunately, a scoring mistake was made on site and, although it was announced as Eldorado, the big winner of the day was Troy. Our apologies for the mix-up. Varsity individual winners were James Prunty (Eldorado) and Lauren Gao (Troy). JV winners were Luis Leon (Eldorado) and Isabelle Weber (Patrick Henry). Freshman winners were Kaileo Truong (Troy) and Katherine Jung (Troy). Congratulations to the units from the local area who qualified for Nationals - Troy, Chaparral, and Sahuarita.
