The maps are posted here.

Thanks to Dick N for helping me figure out how to draw courses in OCAD. But I knew I had messed something up because the calculated course distance was ridiculous. Mike figured it out: I had selected a map scale of 1:50 instead of 1.5 :) So the courses were 1.7 and 3.6 K.

Going from memory:
Fastest man was Justin Bakken (MNOC) at just under 20 minutes. Fastest woman was Anna Shafer-Skelton (SLOC) at 23 (or 24 minutes).

Is this the infamous location where pfc drew a warning shot from a protective local during a night rogaine?? I might be mixing-up my maps but it looks like you guys looped right around his house as if to "draw his fire."

Is that usual that the Kansas Champs are held in Missouri?
So its not only Dorothy that finds herself not in Kansas anymore?

Kansas Champs have always been in Kansas (Johnson County CC is on the Kansas side). The Possum Trot, however, can be on either side of the state line. I wish I had a dollar for every Wizard of Oz joke I've heard...

Of course, several years, the Kansas Champs have also been the Missouri Champs. And they've still been held in Kansas.
