The Ryan Stiedl Memorial MK5K had a decidedly local flavor
Saturday in Denville. Both winners of
the race were from Denville and both still in their teens.
Maximino Meneses, 18, finished in 17:17 to win on the men’s
side and Allyson Black, 17, was the women’s winner. Meneses took the lead from the start and
never relinquished it to Ted Mussano, 31, of Wayne who finished in 17:27. The race was on for third and fourth with Norbey
Gonzalez, 40, of Dover and Hugo Vadillo, 44, of Wood Ridge vying to be the top
masters runner. At the finish it was
Gonzalez by two seconds in 17:48 to Vadillo’s 17:50.
Black was running alone among the men to finish in
21:27. In second place and nearly a
minute back was Lauren Marciano, 31, of Morristown in 22:15 with Heather
Hornyak, 38, of Mountain Lakes in third in 22:41. The masters women’s title was claimed by Eva
Fisher, 53, of Boonton whose time of 24:29 was also the highest women’s age
grade at 71:09%. Roger Price, 64, of
Randolph scored the highest masters men at 82.82% for his time of 20:04.
Most of the nearly 400 finishers had praise for the new
course that was an out-and-back on Pocono Road to Old Boonton Road and
back. There was only a little lamenting
the previous course that had a net drop, making it a faster course. But there was compensation in being able to
see the leaders returning and those trailing you. A fact that was cited by the mostly local
area runners.
Not all were local though.
Bill Welsh, 83, came from Staten Island to claim second place in his age
division in 51:34. Arch Seamans, 80, of
Rockaway took first in 40:41. Coming all
the way from Hillburn, NY was Kathleen Davies who won the W65 division in
40:41.
CHESEREK WINS CHERRY BLOSSOM 10K
Most high school runners are busy in their own competitions,
but at the Newark Cherry Blossom 10K last Sunday high school sensation Edward
Cheserek of Newark ran alone to win in 30:44.
The next finisher was nearly a full four minutes back.
BOSTON WEATHER WILL BE RUNNER FRIENDLY
Boston marathoners are being promised more runner friendly
weather than what they faced in 2012.
The weather forecast for Monday is a high only in the mid fifties -
perfect for running 26.2 miles.
LOCAL RACES NEXT WEEK
Morris area runners looking for more local races will find
the Momentum 5K and 10K in Mt. Olive next Saturday and the Miles for Matheny in
Peapack on Sunday.
