FINAL 1998 BAOC RANKINGS
Below are 1)the BAOC Club Rankings for advanced courses for 1998 and 2) an unofficial Advanced Long List for 1998 (one big conjectural list of 91people.)
First the 1998 rankings based on the Club Ranking Events, de facto B meets, held during the year. The scoring system is similar to that used by USOF. Four runs are needed (which may include a credit day for course setting or a voided course) except on Brown. More information on methodology can be found with previous lists. Comments, corrections and suggestions would be appreciated.

BROWN
Looking first at the Brown standings for 1998: Since we have very
few in the club who compete in the Brown A categories, this is
pretty much an all-comers course. Also the repeat runners are
relatively few thus some of the scoring requirements are fairly
loose, such as a minimum of only two runs needed to be ranked.
Meets 1 Wildfogel, Dennis 2 99.6 2 Ramsey, Ian 5 81.8 3 Minarik, Sarah 2 75.3 4 Corsano, Nick 2 73.4 5 Minarik, Leslie 6 57.5 6 Borg, Lars 2 46.3 7 Lewis, Robert 2 45.9 8 Jahn, Tom 2 43.8 9 Lee, Vivian 3 37.9 10 Madrid, Louise 4 37.5 11 Young, Michael 5 31.8 12 Madsen, Cheryl 5 31.4 13 Meredith, David 2 29.7 14 Lindeman, Nancy 7 29.1 15 Johnson, Rosem. 4 28.8 16 Hoare, Phil 2 25.3
Dennis Wildfogel, a consistent contender on Green for at least the last four years, began his forays onto Brown the second half of last year. With Gary Kraght emphasizing Green, Dennis was the dominating force. His top score, 111.5, came in October at Monte Bello. Newcomer Ian Ramsey is in second after taking in the last five ranking events of the year. He showed remarkably steady improvement from his 64.5 at Nisene Marks culminating with a blazing 115.2 at Big Basin day 2. I notice he has moved up to Green this year. Sarah Minarik is in third place on only two runs, a notch down from her first place, 107.3 point midyear standing.
GREEN
It is really nice to see A category runners on top of both Green
and Red.
1 Minarik, George 6 95.2 2 Scarborough, Joe 8 88.7 3 Wildfogel, Dennis* 3 87.9 4 Kopisch, Manfred 4 87.2 5 Papendick, Joe 4 77.7 6 Taylor, Chris 4 74.1 7 Papendick, Bill 4 72.9 8 Poulsen, Michael 7 72.5 9 Kraght, Gary* 3 71.2 10 Petersen, Janet 4 64.5 11 Pering, Trevor 4 63.6 12 DeMoss, Harold 4 61.6 13 Lee, Greg 5 61.5 14 Lewis, Robert 5 60.7 15 Goss, Stacy 4 53.7 16 Abernathy, Aileen 6 53.5 17 Fleishman, Mike 4 51.5 18 Jacobi, Edith 4 49.3 19 Gleason, Terry 3 48.7 20 Lanam, Jeff 5 44.9 21 Beuerman, Steve 6 43.3
Three Scores Haag, Werner 3 98.8 Haarma, Hannu 3 85.3 Schakhnovsky,Oleg 3 61.5 Corsano, Nick 3 49.7 Roos, Joan 3 37.8 Clemo, Patty 3 34.4
George Minarik easily pulled ahead in the three-way rivalry with Scarborough (me) and Wildfogel. In head to head competition, George beat me in four of six while Dennis won most of his duels but confined himself to only three Green runs. Most improved seem to be Manfred Kopisch, up from 69.9 in 1997 and Janet Petersen, top woman, up from 49.4. Look for Hannu Haarma, former Finnish national team member, to move to the top of the next list, injuries permitting.
RED
After ranking as the number two man on Red in 96 and 97, 1998 was
Tapio's year.
1 Karras, Tapio 5 93.0 2 Ohlund, Kent 4 89.9 3 Greene, Dan 6 88.3 4 Cooley, Bob 6 78.9 5 Jankowski, Steve 4 71.9 6 Blair, Mark 9 66.6 7 Pinkham, Tony 4 61.7 8 Wells, Kelly 7 61.4 9 Wright, Hugh 4 48.8
Three Scores Haag, Werner 3 85.8 Riley, Angelica 3 80.7 Vomanske, Ken 3 78.6 Bassett, Bruce 3 70.5 Petersen, Mark 3 69.4 Aster, Scott 3 58.8 Kohler, Matthias 3 58.7 Pering, Trevor 3 57.2 Winterbottom, Rex 3 57.0 Graube, Peter 3 56.9 Willecke, Rolf 3 56.5
Tapio Karras topped former leader Kent Ohlund in their only two encounters and had the top Red score of the year with his 101.6 at China Camp, easily the best Red score of the year. Kent, to be fair, spent much of the year injured or battling the speed demons on Blue. A close third, Dan Greene had the honor of beating Tapio in two of their five meetings and finished a close third for the year behind Kent. Angelica Riley got in only three ranking runs otherwise her score of 80.7 would have had her in fourth on Red.
BLUE
James Scarborough saw his midyear 11.7 point lead nearly
disappear.
1 Scarborough, James 6 92.6 2 Riley, Wyatt* 4 91.2 3 Barlow, Neil 5 82.6 4 Ohlund, Kent 4 78.4 5 Kamijima,Michihiro 6 77.8 6 Graeve, Thorsten 6 74.3 7 Reader, Syd 5 73.7 8 Gregg, Steve 6 67.7 9 Carpenter, Gary 5 67.0 10 Stein, Doug 8 66.5 11 DeMoss, Penny* 4 65.6 12 Graube, Peter 5 49.0 13 Prior, Mark 4 48.2
Three Scores Wolfe, Bruce 3 92.8 Stoll, Dan 3 76.5 Wyatt-Mair, Gavin 3 56.3 *includes one credit day
James held to his average but the return of Wyatt Riley to the scene made it close for the top spot. James won only four of his seven runs in 1998. His third place BAOC finish at Annadel marked the end of a sixteen meet win streak that began after Wyatt beat him in February of 1995. With his master's studies coming to a merciful end this month, he is aiming to get back on track for the WOC in August. Penny DeMoss remains the top woman on the club. She amassed her points before her season ending injury last summer in Wyoming. Angelica Riley served notice with her three runs on Red. They put her only a point behind Penny on the ALL list.
FINAL 1998 ADVANCED LONG LIST
Speaking of the ALL list: This is a comparison of performances on
different courses based on scores from the fours ranking lists.
Runners who attended as few as two ranking events are added.
Scores of people appearing on more than one of the lists above
are used as indicators of relative values between the courses.
Since runs were from etirely different courses, this is only a
rough "ranking" however it is interesting to note that
the relative values (Blue 1.00, Red .80, Green .67 and Brown .55)
are remarkably similar to those applied in the mid-year listing..
