Snowstorm Classic #2

Snowstorm Classic #2 - 10K
December 11, 1999

Willis, Wenninger Weather Wind

Harriers Bob Willis and Heather Wenninger overcame both the wind and the cold to post new age records at the season’s first Snowstorm Classic over the 10K course. As he did the previous week at 5K, Bob toppled a Roland Cormier record, always a tough assignment. This time the target was 35:30, the record for 49 year olds which has stood for a full decade. Bob not only shaved five seconds off one of the best records on the books, but he gave the younger runners a distance running lesson with a 35:25 Snowstorm Classic win. It appears Bob is rounding into top form for his entry into the senior division next year and will add to an already strong Harrier team which just finished third at the national 10K cross country championships in Long Beach, California. New member Jeff Totten gave chase around the roads of Forest Park and just missed with a second place finish in 35:49, while Carlos Rivera, in his first race since his efforts for the open men’s team in Long Beach, took third in 36:11. Among the women, 16 year old Heather Wenninger continued her winning ways with a 40:58 clocking, chopping nearly two and a half minutes off the 43:22 record set by Maureen Moriarty fifteen years ago. Heather was also just back from California where she led the Harrier women’s team to a 12^th place finish in the 6K USATF cross country championship. Michelle Sosnowski returned to the running scene with a second place 43:14, while Deb Bercovici took 3^rd in 47:14 in her first Snowstorm Classic race.
