For several years, CRR Bruce Weber has been placing prominently in his age group locally. Today, the former Dean of the Lerner School of Business at the University of Delaware has started a new job as Dean of the Zicklin School of Business at the City University of New York’s Baruch College.

Knowing he’d soon be departing Delaware, though, Weber crammed in a few last 5Ks while here—two of them, in fact, in three days, in steamy-hot summer weather—and winning the 60-69 age group in each.

On July 2, Weber burned the Midnight Oil at its Red, White & Brew 5K in Glasgow, running a 20:40* while placing 7th overall. Two days later on July 4, he set off the annual Firecracker 5K in Wilmington by running a 20:29, placing 17th overall.

For his local swansong, Weber ran the Ulster Project Delaware 5K in Wilmington on July 13, placing 10th overall in 21:01* in sweltering conditions.

As representatives of the Creek Road Runners, CRR Bill Rose and CRR Mark Deshon took the Harvard track alum Weber out to lunch on Friday, July 14 (his final day in Newark) after jogging a 5K distance together out and back on Creek Road. He’ll be missed for sure, but Creek Road Runners wish him all the best, as he establishes a CRR presence in The Big Apple.

Wear the shirt with pride, Bruce.
