I came across the Vulcan O' Club's Orienteering Workbook (2004) with a reference to the KU Champs on page 9:
The Sport Evolves
After fading away around 1971-72, West Point orienteering was rejuvenated in 1975 by U.S. Army orienteering founder Bud Fish. The cadets have dominated U.S. intercollegiate competition from 1978 to the present except for 1983-85 when Gene Wee's University of Kansas orienteers won. Bill Gookin has been an orienteering organizer in the San Diego area since 1969. The San Francisco Bay area club with the leadership of Joe Scarborough and the clubs around the Seattle, Washington, area grew rapidly as the top western orienteering areas in the 1980's. . .
I assembled the runners and they did all the work. . . Many are still OK members 25 years later. Maybe KU in some other sport can win a national championship this weekend down south. . .
