David will be going for the Gold Paralympic Medal. He won the Bronze in
the 2004 WTOC in Sweden and the Silver in 2005 in Japan. It might have
been three medals in three years in a row, except David took a hiatus
from the 2006 WTOC in Finland.
Scott, Bob and Mike will be participating in the Open/Any Ability Class
Team for the World Trail Orienteering Championship Medal. They will have
their work cut out for them for the Nordic Countries are very strong
competitors in this area.
If you did not make the 2007 U.S. WTOC Team, you might like to go as a
Team Official. We have 7 openings out of our 10 allotted spots. You
can do the WTOC Courses in the Public Events, attend some of the
WOC Events or do some of the WOC Tour Events etc. Since Karen
Dennis and I will be handling the actual Team Official Duties, you
can just make it a WTOC/WOC holiday without any of the Team
pressures. If interested contact me at tbaukuhn {at} aol {dot} com
Please join me in extending the very best success wishes to the
2007 U.S. WTOC Team.
GO TEAM GO !!!
