Cristina Luis of the Tucson Orienteering Club (TSN) is the recipient of this year’s Silva Award, given annually to an orienteer who has given exceptional service to orienteering over the past five years. Cristina has been involved in orienteering at many levels in the US for well over 5 years, most recently culminating in her role as Competition Manager for The World Games, bringing international orienteering back to the US for the first time in over 25 years. The games were a huge success due to the tireless efforts and managerial acumen that Cristina brought to the role.

Although I was rooting for Boris, hoping he would win, based on his internationally-recognized commentating, and establishment of a new club in the mountains of Montana,
yet I have to acknowledge that the award is well deserved. Congratulations.

It's fitting that Boris is in this photo, since he deserves a lot of kudos for being a good friend and listening to me vent about all the new ugly twists and turns we faced in planning for The World Games! Also, he's really good at that announcing stuff!

IIRC, Boris received a President's Award last year, for establishing GRIZO.
