FROST WINS HALF MARATHON
Former Randolph standout Colin Frost, now 24, showed his heels to
the rest of the field on Saturday at the Halloween Half Marathon in Morristown
and hit the finish line in 1:09:32, six minutes before second place Karl O’Reilly
finished in 1:15:47. If youth prevailed
on the men’s side, then Hortencia Aliaga, 45, of Garfield showed what a master
can do to win the women’s race. Her time
of 1:26:13 did not have the gap that Frost had, as Caroline Day of Rockleigh
finished not far back in 1:26:30.
Kevin Fitzgerald, 44, of Wharton finished fourth overall and
first masters runner with a time of 1:20:59.
Close to 800 runners finished the race on what was a beautiful Indian
Summer Saturday.
CROSS COUNTRY WIN IN BOSTON
Teams are the focus in cross country racing and one New
Jersey team hit the proverbial jackpot last Sunday at Franklin Park in Boston
at the USATF national masters 5 kilometer championship. Lead in by Rockaway’s Reno Stirrat, the Shore
Athletic Club’s M60 team placed first with 17 points, over rival Atlanta Track
Club by two points. Stirrat’s time was
19:51, good for fourth in the M60 division.
Second man on the team was Kevin Dollard of Hopewell Junction NY in
20:21 and third man was Scott Linnell of Colts Neck in 20:55.
The Adidas Garden State Track club finished sixth out of 11
teams in the M40 division. Fifth man on
their team was 58 year old Gary Leaman of Hardwick, whose 18:34 earned him 9th
place on the age grading table at 84.61% PLP.
At the individual level, Jonathan Frieder, formerly of
Randolph, now of Rye Brook NY won the M45 division in 17:01, and 13th
place in age grading with an 84.16% PLP.
Frieder’s brother Elliott of Montville finished in 6th in the
M45 division in 17:32.
GRABOW PLACES THIRD IN IRONMAN
Mountain Lakes Natalie Grabow, who was featured here a year
ago, returned to Kona for the Ironman Triathlon. She finished third in her W70 division despite
being the oldest competitor in the race.
