New Year’s Day has come and gone, and some even felt the necessity to fit in an initial race. In the local Hangover Helper 5K, a couple age-group awards were won by Creek Road Runners.

CRR Andrew Weber came in second in the 30-39 age group with a 19:11, finishing 6th overall out of 112 participants. CRR Christine Schultz also came in second in her age group (40-49) with a 26:12 and finished 21st overall.
Christine’s husband, CRR Dave Schultz, took a third in the 50-59s in 24:08 and was 12th overall. For the Schultzes, this was a good showing, a day after they had run in the “Wring Out the Old, Ring in the New.” Their daughter, Lawson, won the 20-and-unders at age 14 with a 26:57. Of course, not having run the previous day, she was fresh.

Sounds like alphabet soup, does’t it? No, it’s not the latest social media abbreviation.
Maybe now in his new role (while he’s there), he can do for UD what he’s done over the past several years for Creek Road Runners—provide hands-off leadership. However, having said that, for his first order of business, most Creek Road Runners feel strongly that his first and foremost order of business should be to right a wrong by reinstating the men’s DI running programs at UD and bringing back beloved former UD coach and CRR Jim Fischer.
CRR Bill Farquhar writes in the News Journal about new sodium labeling—“salt bombs”—restaurants are using. Farquhar is Professor and Chair in the Department of Kinesiology and Applied Physiology at the University of Delaware. He studies the role of diet and exercise on human health. In addition to his academic prowess, Farquhar is a serious runner. Now that his training is back on track, you can be sure he’s watching his own salt intake too.
CRR Cole Galloway and his Go Baby Go mobility program at the University of Delaware was injected with some new funding from the organization Kids with Confidence. His research will ultimately provide information to improve the lives of children with many kinds of mobility and learning issues, but those with Down syndrome are the focus of the initial Go Baby Go research. Galloway is professor of physical therapy in the College of Health Sciences.
CRR Diane Kukich represented the Creek Road Runners on the podium at last Friday’s Reindeer Run 5K in Newark. She won the 60-64 age group in 24:46, placing 36th among all women in the race and 170th overall out of 1,035 finishers. Way to go!
