John Stauber 1st Clydesdale
Ellen Shapiro 2nd Race Walker Masters
Greg Karl 2nd Age group
Sarah Pettinato 1st Age Group

It was inspiring to see Bruce Zimmermann and Curt Robinson continuing their comebacks. We missed you and your participation.
Congratulations to all who participated.

FIRECRACKER RACE

 
Although this was our Club Race we still fielded a Men's Team since it is in the LITF series for Men. A tired group including Greg Karl, Bruce MacCorkindale, Barry Jerson, Neil Ferrara, Rich Astarita, Warren Drezen and John Stauber completed the race after many of us volunteered throughout the day. John Stauber placed 2nd in the Clydesdale division as well.
 
Congratulations for putting on a great race to Alex as the Race Director, Diane the President,  Dennis for the timing, and all of the volunteers for showing how its done well. 

BELLMORE RACE

 
We set a record for participation as far as the number of Teams entered in a race by our Club. We fielded a total of 10 Teams including 6 Men's Teams and 4 Women's Teams in the Open and Masters Divisions.
 
The results and Team members are as follows:
 
Open Men 3rd place Warren Drezen Rich Astarita, and Peter Martin
                4th place Warren Vanderwater, Bruce Zimmermann, and John De Lissio
                5th place Howard Cragg, Howard Kestenbaum, and Curt Robinson
 
Peter Martin finished the race in spite of an injury during the race since he knew that their was Glory on the line (Beer).
 
Masters Men 2nd place Rich Bury, Jay Byrne, and Alex Flyntz
                    4th place Hapi Auer, Jim Galante, and John Stauber
                    5th place Barry Jerson, Neil Ferrara, and Bruce MacCorkindale
 
The second place Team missed First place by a total of 13 seconds. If these guys can run so fast cant they pick up a second/mile each? More importantly they brought home the Glory (Beer).
 
Individually, Alex Flyntz took 1st place in his age group and Howard Ketzenbaum took 3rd place in his.
 
Open Women 4th place Irene Robinson, Michelle Ackerman, and Irene Drezen
                     5th place Ellen Shapiro, Jennifer Trzcinski, and Susan Kueffner

Congratulations to all who participated.
