2024 North American Orienteering Champs Recap

The 2024 North American Championships were held as part of the annual Canadian Orienteering Festival. The first weekend of the festival took place in Mansfield, near Toronto, with the Canadian Middle and Long Champs. The festivities then moved to Kingston for a joint COC/NAOC Sprint, followed by the Sprint Relay and debut NAOC Knockout Sprint. Another rest day before moving up to Calabogie, west of Ottawa, for the epic final Middle and Long distance races. There were several US victories (Ali Crocker took home the gold in the Middle and Long, and Joe Barrett in the Long) but it wasn’t enough to keep the Canadians from winning the Björn Kjellström Cup.

OUSA Communications

Clinton Morse had notified the OUSA Board of Directors that he intended to step down as National Communications Manager at year end to pursue other retirement goals. With his sudden loss, the OUSA Board will look to fill his shoes sooner than expected. 
Until OUSA can come up with a permanent solution, Barb Bryant has volunteered to coordinate our communications. She is seeking additional short-term volunteers to help with this task; please contact her at barb.bryant@nullorienteeringusa.org if you can volunteer. You may continue to send any messages related to communications to webmaster@nullorienteeringusa.org or newsletter@nullorienteeringusa.org and be confident they will be received by OUSA.
