CUMULATIVE RESULTS as of Jan 10, 1997
As in 1995, no news was received of Intercollegiate contests other than at OCGP in 1996. Two were held there, one in the Spring, one in the Fall. Both are summarized here and they determine the CSA standings for the year.

Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Gliding & Soaring Championships

Owl Canyon Gliderport, CO
April 6-7, 1996

Two days of pretty good soaring this time. Strong W winds on Saturday. A slow start on Sunday with "fooler" clouds and then overdevelopment. USAFA arrived with 2 ASK-21s and their own towplane. Many thanks to volunteers from the Colorado Soaring Association (Curt, Matt, George), to CU (Alison, Josh) for setting up the event, to CSU (Frank) for the chicken barbeque. John Campbell gave a slide history of collegiate gliding from 1910 Cornell to 1930 Michigan to 1986 Princeton. Overall results: 

TEAM:          1. USAFA (6750)   2. CU (4482)   3. CSM (1942)            
(ABC-BRNZ)     4. CSU (1934)

INDIVIDUAL:    1. Grimsdell, CU (1548)   2. Ellingwood, USAFA (895)
(SLVR+)        3. Hogan, USAFA (676)     4. Willis, CSU (278)

Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Gliding & Soaring Championships

Owl Canyon Gliderport, CO
October 6, 1996

The forecasts were excellent, the pilots were willing, so we called a "real" task on Saturday for the Individual Class. The tiny triangle was set a little larger for the teams. On Sunday, the forecast was still good and we gridded again expecting big things, but trigger temperature was never reached and no one could stay up. It would have been nice if we could run ABC gliding events as intended, but though USAFA had the pilots, we let them down with no competitors. Many thanks to volunteers from the Colorado Soaring Association (Curt, Dan, George...), to CU (Josh, Alison) for setting up the event. John Campbell gave a slide show on the earliest hang-gliding in the USA and Germany, and how the first soaring records were set. Overall results: 

TEAM:          1. USAFA (1650)   2. CU (1418)          
(ABC-BRNZ)         

INDIVIDUAL:    1. McAllister, DU (1000)   2. Creech, USAFA (143)
(SLVR+)        3. Grimsdell, CU (43)

INDIVIDUAL RESULTS


SLVR:  SPEED

TASK:  WYCON, Briggsdale.  101.6 mi  [must pass Gate for Score]    
JUDGE:  Gary Buxton  [* distance (mi) instead of Speed (mph)]      

Rank   Pilot        School  Ship         H'cap  Time  Speed  HSpd  Pnts
   1   McAllister   DU      Std. libelle  1.00  2:24   42.3  42.3  1000
   2   Creech       USAFA   ASK-21        1.15   28*                143

[Note: Creech and Rick (both SLVR) were flying as a pair and made a good conservative decision to turn back over moonscape. Grimsdell fought airsickness and was also correct to turn back. Host club members Odehnal and Kaufmann flew the task as well]
