The 11th Knights of Columbus Race was held on
Sunday,
October 7. It was a
partly sunny and very breezy early Fall day, with
temperatures in the mid 40s.
The race was revived last year after a five year
hiatus,
and nearly 100
runners registered for the second running of the
race.
The
course, though moderately hilly, is one of the
fastest in the State
College area. And the race winner, Bob Radzwich,
took
full advantage of the
many long downhills as he ran away with the race,
finishing in a blazing
16:04. Second place went to Jeff Smith in 17:25,
closely
followed by Greg
Dillon in 17:34. The woman's winner, Julie Christie,
is a relative newcomer to
racing. Julie is a regular at Race Director Marty
Mazur's Thursday Track Crew,
as are many of the high-placing finishers. Julie's
winning time of 21:56 came
after her strong finish against a much bigger field
in last week's Moxie-Thon
5K. Second place went to Tara Scheuren in 22:50, and
third place went to Sarah
Mariah Kapinus in 23:13.
The
men's team honors went to the unstoppable Old Fartleks.
This year's team
consisted of Jim Moore, Mike Dooris, Ken Forstmeier,
and Marv Hall, all
Thursday Trackers. And though they ran unopposed,
they showed their
competitive spirit by cleaning up in their
respective
age groups. The team's
"anchor", Ken Forstmeier, did triple duty, taking
second in the 40-44 age
group and winning the Men's Master Clydesdale
category.
In other team running,
the Pinewood Pacers won the mixed category, narrowly
beating Orian.
While
people with "runner's builds" took many of the
top places, bigger
runners were not at a disadvantage for prizes. There
were 11 runners in the
Clydesdale/Athena category. Ken Forstmeier, who
finished
13th overall, was the
first finisher in the "big-boned" men's division and
he claimed the Master's
Clydesdale prize. Ken easily rebuffed a last minute
challenge by a younger
(and much lighter) runner. The top finisher among
under-40 Clydesdale runners
was Jim Gehret, who finished 29th overall. The
women's
Athena division was
carried by Sue Reimer, who finished 76th overall,
followed by Rose Bohn.
Net
proceeds from the Knights Race go to the Tom Kleban
Fund and the Schlow
Memorial Library Children's Department. Race
Co-Directors
Marty and Vicky
Mazur would like to thank our sponsors. Without
their
donations of money,
goods, prizes, and services, the net donation we
could
make to our charities
would be much lower. This year's sponsors were the
Nittany Valley Running
Club, the Knights of Columbus Council No. 4678, Tom
Cali of RE/MAX Realty,
Rapid Transit Sports, Nittany Bank, The Boal Mansion
and Columbus Chapel,
Saint's Cafe, Weis Markets, Danone International,
and Webster's Cafe
Bookstore.
We'd
also like to thank our volunteers, who made this
year's race a pleasure
to run. They were Tim Dooris, Matt Beaugard, Dave
Eggler, Greg Fredericks,
Bill Bahnfleth, Ron Cunfer, Bruce Einfalt, Bill
Whittaker,
Morgan Wasikonis,
Steve Bodner, and Christina Mazur. Special thanks
also to Shawn Rogacs of the
Knights of Columbus.
