18th Annual Nittany Valley Half-Marathon
December 2, 2001

Usually in a road race temperatures are either OK  for runners but too cold for spectators or OK for spectactors but too warm for runners.  The 1999 "Half" was the latter case and the 2000 "Half" the former case.  Weather for the 2001 race was as close to ideal  for both runners and spectators as possible.  Record numbers of runners took advantage of the weather as 301 runners registered and 279 finished.

The overall winner by almost two minutes was Vic Flemming, who bettered his 2000 time by over three minutes.  Like Vic, the winners the past three years have been Penn State varsity runners.  The women’s winner was Beth Ann Buchheit of State College.

The race was on Sunday this year as opposed to Saturday in the past.  If you have an opinion on how you liked Sunday rather than Saturday, let us (Dave Eggler, eggler@geosc.psu.edu or Morgan Wasikonis mortaymat5@aol.com) know, one way or the other.  Next year’s race will be either the first Saturday or Sunday in December.

If you won a prize but weren’t around to collect it, let us know.  If you left clothing behind, let us know.  And if you paid for a T-shirt but didn’t collect it, let us know.
