This summer Orienteering USA is providing support to 30 National Team and Youth Development Program athletes participating in events in Europe. Some, like Ali Crocker (CROC), are veterans competing for the last time at the World Orienteering Championships. Others, like youngsters Kendal O’Callaghan (RMOC) and Alex Eriksson (ICO), are part of OUSA’s first officially supported team to the European Youth Orienteering Championships. All of our athletes are training hard now and preparing for their summer competitions and training camps, and we’ll keep you updated on all the action.
Here’s a schedule of events featuring Team USA orienteers this summer:
- World Cup #1 – June 18-22 in Idre Fjäll, Sweden
- Junior World Orienteering Championships and Training Camps – June 26 – July 4 in Trentino, Italy
- World Orienteering Championships – July 7 – 12 in Kuopio, Finland
- European Youth Orienteering Championships and Training Camps – July 17 – 20 in Brno, Czechia
- Silva Camp – July 20 – 27 in Velká Kraš, Czechia
In addition to cheering these athletes on from home, you can also lend a hand financially. Help these athletes reach their summer fundraising goal of $6,000 ($200 per athlete)!
