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.

Recently, CRR Skip White, who was on sabbatical this fall from his day job as a professor in the Department of Accounting at the University of Delaware, did some fishing with recent retiree CRR John Schuster. Sure, it was a nice catch, but the real story here is how nice and new White’s shirt looks. Displaying the group T-shirt is always a good look, whether the fish is just big or “this big.”
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!

Back on November 7th, the second annual Rock-N-Roll 5K was held at the Newark Country Club. This unique, local cross-country 5K saw three Creek Road Runners take age-group firsts.
CRR Diane Kukich won the 60-69 age group in 25:58, and CRR Mary Braun took the 50-59 group in 27:17.
Leading the way in the 5K was CRR Clark Ridge (no photo available), who placed 9th overall out of 1,785 finishers and won the 35-39 age group in a lightning fast 17:24. Coming in 20th overall was CRR Bruce Weber, who won the 50-54s in a super 18:41, just north of 6 minutes per mile.
For the second time in less than a week, the two Dougs (Repetti and Ridge) won their respective age groups. CRR Doug Repetti (60-64) won in 22:56, and CRR Doug Ridge, father of Clark and CRR Claron Ridge (who also ran), posted a 24:34 on the day.
On the distaff side, it’s part of their family holiday tradition to run this race, and each year CRR Ann Jornlin seems to be on the podium. This year was no exception, as Ann took second in the 60-64s in 25:03.
