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)
