Race Day Wrap Up
The morning of
the 13th Fab 5k was a hazy 70 degrees. This year was one of the
few years that the course had green grass from an abundance of rain.
The course was mowed on Friday leaving it in perfect condition.
Since the Fab 5k is one of the only money races in the valley we usually get some impressive times. Somehow we all had a suspicion of who was going to win.
This picture indicates Randy knew.
The results show some impressive times.
David Cheromei - 14:54
Randy Horner - 15:52
David Angell - 15:58
and a total of 11 people under 17 minutes.
On the women's side it was an extremely close race. Last year's winner Allie Uhl took 20 seconds off her time and fought off the 2nd and 3rd places winners at the line.
Allie Uhl - 19:08
Michelle Church - 19:09
Mary Catherine Sowder - 19:10
The 40+ crowd also had a great race.
Mark Knapp - 1st Master Male - 20:02
Simone Vandegrift - 1st Master
Female - 23:54
and, new this year, instead of an 18 and under award I decided to go with an under 18. I wanted to make sure we kept this award as a High School award.
Michelle Church - 19:09
Patrick Woodford - 16:30
It was a great turnout of runners under 18. I like to see so many young runners come out to fight in the preseason to see who has been working the hardest over the summer break. Good luck during your xc season.
