Race #3
8K Road Race
Saturday April 30 2014
It was 84 and sunny with 0% chance of rain tonight. In Tempe. Here in Springfield, our
runners were heartier souls, braving a cold, steady rain as they hit the road for the 8K
road race. Six went out; six came back. Many took age group categories.
By the numbers:
1st male: Dave Merkt 31:08
Youth, male: Bill Carroll 33:25
Open, male: Ryan Merceri 33:37
Master, male: Mike Olkin 33:56
Veteran, male: Steve O'Neil 34:03
70+, male: Don Grant 59:31
Thanks as always to the volunteers: Brian Goddu, Bruce Kurtz, Ed Carroll and Kathy
McCarthy. This race doesn't happen without your generosity of time and spirit. Now go warm
up.
