WOC and JWOC Teams announced

[Peggy Dickison]

On behalf of the WOC Review Panel and the JWOC Selection Committee, I am pleased to announce the athletes who will represent the US at WOC and JWOC this summer.

The World Orienteering Championships will be held in Kuopio, Finland, from 7 to 12 July. Regional champs in the Middle and Long races—for North Americans, last summer’s NAOC races—earn personal starts in those WOC races. Joseph Barrett thus earned a long start at this year’s WOC, and Ali Crocker earned both a middle and a long start.
