Last week, CRR Bruce Weber ran in three competitions, all quite different from one another.

On Sunday, Oct. 17, representing the Greater Philadelphia Track Club (GPTC), Weber ran the National Masters 5K Cross Country race in Boston’s Franklin Park. He finished second among his GPTC team and 11th overall nationally among the 60-and-overs with a 20:37. His GPTC team finished third in the 60+ age division.

That Wednesday, Oct. 20, Weber ran a 19:45 and won his age group in the UD Blue Hens Homecoming 5K (see previous article for detail).

Weber ended his busy week on Saturday, Oct. 23, by running in the Ghosts of Granogue 5-mile trail run—a tough local cross-country course—finishing third overall and taking first in his 60-69 age group in 39:49.

Weber’s comment on this three-race effort was, “Not to be repeated any time soon.”

Whew! Time now to recover.

There were several notable finishers among the Creek Road Runners who ran the Fusion 5 Miler here in Newark on July 31.

CRR Andrew Weber turned in another impressive performance, winning the men’s masters division and finishing 3rd overall in a neat 30:00. Six minutes per mile at age 41 is nothing short of outstanding.

CRR Bill Rose won the 60-69 age group, finishing 18th overall in 34:53. Though he didn’t place in his 40-49 age group, CRR Dan Weile bested Rose on the day with a 34:09, finishing in 16th.

CRR Doug Repetti continues to run well among the 70-and-overs, winning this über-seniors category in 41:55 and finishing in a very respectable 57th out of the 186 competitors.

A shout-out to CRR April Anderson, who placed 2nd in the 70-and-over age group in 1:12:26.

Well done, all of you.

CRR Emma Beisheim crossed the line as the second female and 12th finisher overall in 34:25 (6:53/mile) and winning the 25-29 age group.

A fast pair indeed.

Today’s Five & Wine 5 Mile Run in Newark produced five age-group winners among Creek Road Runners and one new state age-group record.

The most notable age-group winner on the day was CRR Diane Kukich (60-69), who took 77 seconds off the old 65-69 state record by posting a time of 39:41. Just last weekend in Virginia Beach, she came in second in the USATF National Masters 8K Championship race in her age group, which earned her a silver medal, and took away an additional silver for her second-place age-grading score of 85.4 in that same race. (Age grades in the 80-89 range are considered “national class.”) There were 69 women in her age group on the course that day.

The only other podium finisher among the group was CRR Ryan German, who posted a 35:06 while finishing 3rd in the 30-39 age group.

Note: Unlike most CRR postings, these are all chip times, because gun times were not made available.
