2012 World Trail Orienteering Championships - U.S. Team results

On behalf of Orienteering USA, our sincere thanks to the Open Class and Paralympic Class United States Team Members who made the long journey to Dundee, Scotland for the 2012 WTOC.

The competition at the WTOCs is very keen with many years of experience by the majority of the participants. No one federation received all the medals. While the United States was not among the medal recipients this year, we are pleased to recognize and applaud the achievements of our Team members as detailed below.

Richard Y. Ebright briefly in 1st Place after first event of World Trail O Champs

After one day of competition at the World Trail Orienteering Championships in Scotland, DVOA's Richard Y. Ebright is in first place* in the Open competition. What a way to start a competition! The next seven competitors are only one point behind, so concentration and skill are needed for the Day 2.

NOTE: The official website notes a protest, with a final ruling available soon (not yet posted as of 4:50 PM EDT on 8 June).
