Lily Addicott 2024 – Nomination for the OUSA Board of Directors
Hello! My name is Lily Addicott, I am 21 years old, and I am a senior microbiology student at Clemson University. I began orienteering when I was 14 on my NJROTC’s orienteering team. I found success at Navy NJROTC nationals which inspired me to pursue the U.S. National Team. I have been on the National Team for three years and have loved every second of it. Orienteering has blossomed into one of my biggest passions in life, and I want to give back as much as I can to my community.
I am in the midst of my third year of membership with OUSA, and I try to stay very active with my local club, GAOC. I also help with the Youth Development Program by leading NRE course reviews, and I am working on my coaching certification. I have begun learning how to map as well, and I am working on a local and YMP map. If elected, my biggest focus would be to help grow the sport of orienteering in the United States, with a particular interest in supporting the youth. I am unique in that I am very young with much to learn, but I come with the fresh, nuanced perspective of a newcomer and a junior team member. Making this wonderful sport easily accessible and welcoming is important to me, and I would love to make that my priority on the board. My recreational pursuits already reflect these goals as last year I helped a group of students at my university to start orienteering in which I organized travel and taught.
