Congratulations to Sharon for winning the WMOC long distance A final by over two minutes. A very fine performance.
Very impressive! Sharon is truly a world-class orienteer.
Fantastic race, Sharon! :)
An inspiration, an institution.
Wow! Yes, an inspiration, always.
Awesome, Sharon! Way to go!!
Congrats!! That's fabulous!
What a great Orienteerer!
Unbelievable! Congrats, Sharon!
The World Famous Sharon Crawford is the best in the world! So cool! Nice work =)
Awesome, congrats Sharon!
Does Sharon peruse AP? Will the very real Sharon please sit down here for an interview and share her secret to success....
Sharon sent me a detailed race report and photos, which I'll have posted to the RMOC web site shortly. I'll post a link when it's ready.

I think Sharon has changed less than any of the others.
what Sharon said:
"I guess in orienteering if you keep trying long enough and hard enough it might ultimately be your turn some day to be the one with the fewest mistakes! "
Although I believe the wily Sharon has managed to pull off this trick more than once...
I never doubted her! She was talking about how fast and how skilled her competitors were before the race, but she was also very focused. We were all thrilled for her to win, but perhaps not really surprised, because she really seemed to have it in her.
Thanks Brooke and Charlie for bringing us such a prompt write-up. Sharon is truly an American legend, and I'd love to read her biography someday. As I would for several other orienteers.
Bob/J-J, please give us a caption to identify the others from Sharon's Christmas card. Inquiring minds want to know. :-)
Yes, levitin, I was hoping for the same thing! I think I see Virginia Lehman and Swampfox, but I'm not sure about the others...
Here is the line-up, although one of them I am only about 95% sure:
Dan Meenehan, Spike, Eric Weyman, Swampfox, Bruce Wolfe
Gail, Virginia, Sharon, Heather Williams, Peggy.
I say 95%, because . . . is that really Spike? So young!
US WOC teams (look for 1987).
and suitable timing in that it's a return to France this summer (after 24 years). Begs the ? as to when might it be suitable to have a second WOC here...?
