Dow’s Prairie Run
10:00 am, Sat., June 17, 2017
Directed by “Jeff Haag” <jh1@humboldt.edu>
Eighty seven runners (up 24% from last year) made
the trek to Clam Beach in McKinleyville and were rewarded with splendid weather
on a beautiful course.
The flat-and-fast out-and-back 2-mile race took
place near the ocean white with foam. Led by teenagers Christian Coley (male winner,
10:59) and Morgin Coonfield
(female winner, 12:58), stellar performances were also put up by pre-teens Carter Eichen,
Kinsley Yarbrough, Abbey Lynch, Oliverno Boyd, and Jo Boyd.
The challenging 6.1-mile course starts near the
same ocean white with foam but quickly ascends into the mountains and Dows
Prairie. Aaron
Campbell was the first finisher, clocking 34:18, the fastest time
since 2011 and the fifth-fastest time ever by a 20-29 year old. Tami Beall
was the fastest female on the course and, in her last chance to make it into
the record books for a woman in her 40’s, posted a 40:21, the second-fastest
time ever in that division. Records for women in their 60’s were shattered. We
saw the two fastest times ever, put up by Chris
Hamer and, at the top of the list with a time of 48:32, Mary Wells. Other runners making it
into the all-time age-group records were Kristal
Mendez, Dave Ryan, Tom Martin, and Jurgen Giessel.
On behalf of all runners, I am immensely grateful
for all the help I received. Tanya Trump showed up early and took your
registration. Lanore Bergenske
showed up just as early, delivering the rice crispy treats you enjoyed. Board
member Rachel
Cardoza and Jorge Ramirez also took up space at the
registration table. Amanda Lee volunteered in the true spirit of
volunteering -
without being asked. She was a course monitor and fruit preparer. Adam Falk
stepped up as both course monitor and finish line recorder. Special thanks to Paul Kraus
and Harry Kavich. These men do more for our club than we
realize. Yoon
Kim does a lot too. Thanks to all.
I look forward to next year’s event here in Dow’s
Prairie, McKinleyville, CA, USA, North America, my home, sweet home. – J.H.
