On Jan 6th, the Junior Team Executive Steering Committee (JTESC) at Orienteering USA announced the USA Junior National Team and the Junior Development Team athletes for 2020. Congratulations to COC members Jessica Colleran and Kai Mihata for being named to the Junior National Team and to Benjamin Brady and Annika Mihata for being placed on the Junior Development Team. You can read about all members here.
OUSA is still accepting applications for the Junior Development Team (JDT), and will be doing so throughout the year. They encourage all juniors, ages 13-20, who run confidently at the Orange level (or above), and want to connect with other young people who love orienteering and take their orienteering to the next level, to join the 2020 JDT.

Did you know Cascade Orienteering Club is almost 100% volunteer run? Did you know it takes 85-100 volunteer hours to put on just one Winter League meet? COC couldn’t produce the volume or professional quality of meets we offer year round without volunteers. If you or your children are enjoying orienteering in the Puget Sound area please consider giving 90 minutes of your time at an upcoming meet. To those of you seen in this WordCloud, THANK YOU for your time and talents!
