CRR Bruce Weber
In last weekend’s B+ 5K Fighting Childhood Cancer, CRR Bruce Weber ran a 19:20. In an absolutely loaded 50-59 age group in which eight runners broke 21 minutes, Weber could only place 3rd (discounting overall master’s winner and 50-50er Greg Cauller) with such a good finishing time. Weber came in 14th overall out of over 1,100 participants in the Wilmington race.
Great job, but there are definitely too many good old guys out there.

Sam Parsons, a redshirt junior at North Carolina State and son of CRR George Parsons and CRR Christina Parsons, qualified late last month for the nationals with an 11th place East Region finish in the 10,000m run in Jacksonville, Fla., in a stellar 30:05. He will be one of the 24 competitors in Eugene, Ore., on the hallowed Hayward Field track in the 10K later this week.
Set your DVRs for coverage of the NCAA Men’s Track and Field Championships on ESPN2 from June 8–11.
Creek Road Runners wish Sam good luck and swift feet!

The weather was a bit muggy for an early June day, but that didn’t seem to hinder three Creek Road Runners this past Sunday out on their home course—Creek Road—in the University of Delaware’s annual Reunion Weekend Blue Hen 5K. Anyway, it was a good day to have a last name beginning with the letter “W.”
Leading the way and placing 5th overall (out of 201 participants) was Dean of the Lerner Business School and CRR Bruce Weber, who won the 50-59 age group in 20:07. In 13th place was CRR Dan Weile, who placed 3rd among the 40-49s in 21:28. And Dean of Arts & Sciences and CRR George Watson, what do you know, came in 2nd in the 60-60 age group in 39:56. We suspect he was walking much of the way, though.

Today a black bear was spotted in Newark. This comes on the same day that a News Journal article mentioned two other sightings here in New Castle County. Creek Road Runners are urged to keep an eye out. If you spot a bear while out on Creek Road, don’t get too close because bears are fast too.
