Warmer temperatures did not result in slower times, 18 out of 37 runners notched another Personal Best. Biggest field of the year. The women were once again led by speedster Maryrose Williams followed closely by PHS star Chloe Potash and Mia Hiltpold making it to the podium for the first time. Joe Geurds notched another win with Pat Donahue hot on his heels. Hunter Bentz grabbed third.
The Points Series is heating up in a competition that rewards persistence as much as speed. Most of the Divisions are within a point or two. This race makes you faster. See you next week!
8/27 - What a great season! Huge turnout tonight, biggest of the year. Joe Guerds edged out Patrick Donahue for the win for the men. Lauren Farry won the women's race. The field was fast, 43 people ran season's best tonight. The points race made for some excitement. Once again, steady attendance rather than raw speed made the biggest difference. 44 kids ran for free over the summer at the races. Over $1,300 distributed to the two causes. Thanks to all who helped. Stay tuned, a winter series may be in the mix.
