The home course means “home cookin’,” and that’s just what several Creek Road Runners enjoyed this morning on Creek Road in the 10th Annual Blue Hen 5K, as part of the University of Delaware’s “Dela-bration” Alumni Weekend.

Leading the way was CRR Bruce Weber, UD’s dean of the Alfred Lerner College of Business & Economics. Weber was all by himself in second place overall, not close to the leader but way ahead of anyone else, posting a 19:39 along the Creek Road course. In doing so, Weber was also the top master’s runner.

Three others came away with age-group wins. CRR Dan Weile has been running well lately, and he placed 5th overall on the day, winning the 40-49 age group in 20:30. In winning the 60-69 age group, CRR Mark Deshon ran a decent 21:26, finishing 10th overall—a great way to celebrate the 40th anniversary of his UD graduation. On the distaff side, a very fit CRR April Anderson headed the 70-and-overs in 39:32.

Kids of Creek Road Runners even garnered some medals. 14-year-old Ben Schultz, son of CRR Dave Schultz and CRR Christine Schultz, took 3rd among the 13-19s and 14th overall in 22:52. Molly Shay, 12-year-old daughter of CRR Mike Shay, won the 12-and-unders with a 24:50 and was the 4th woman finisher.

Blue Hen 5k, kukich, taggart, watson, weber, weile

The seniors shined on a sunny Saturday here in Newark, during the annual Blue Hen 5K on Creek Road.

photo of Bruce WeberLeading the way was CRR Bruce Weber, who came in 3rd overall (out of 192 participants), winning in 19:17. The 56-year-old Weber was the top finisher over 30 years of age.

CRR Diane Kukich won the 60-69s in what was, for her anyway, a fairly comfortable 25:21 as the 38th runner to cross the line.

photo of Bob TaggartNow 76, CRR Bob Taggart, the grand old man who still owns five state records (at 5K, 5 mi., 10K, 15K, and 10 mi., all in the 65-69 age group) notched another win in the 70-and-overs in 29:25.

Not to be outdone, CRR Dan Weile (40-49) took an age-group 2nd place, finishing 10th overall in 21:40. And, of special note, CRR George Watson, represented UD’s College of Arts and Sciences well in his annual 5K appearance in 36:08.

Blue Hen 5k, watson, weber, weile

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.”

photo of Bruce WeberLeading 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.

It was a picture-perfect day for a race on Creek Road, and the Creek Road Runners did not disappoint, taking home three 1st place, three 2nd place, and one 3rd place among the age-group awards handed out on Sunday morning at the Blue Hen 5K.

photo of Bill RoseLeading the way and crossing the line 4th overall out of 256 finishers was CRR Bill Rose. Rose weaved his way through many a runner over the course to finish where he did, having run an even 20:00. Creek Road Runners owned the 50-59 age group; Rose won and was joined by 2nd place finisher CRR Mark Deshon (21:08) and 3rd place finisher CRR Cole Galloway (21:12), whose son, Nathan, came in second overall with a tidy 18:23.

Passing several runners along the way, CRR Dan Weile turned in a good performance and earned a 2nd place among the 40-49s in 20:55. Deshon just couldn’t stay in contact with him for the second half of the race.

kukich2photo of Julie BrewerDespite her admission that the hill at the end “beat [her] up,” CRR Diane Kukich won the 60-69 age group in a time of 25:03. Not to be outdone by her own peers, CRR Julie Brewer was the other female age-group (50-59) winner on the day in 27:33.

CRR John Bishop also deserves a nod for his 2nd place finish among the 70-and-overs in 43:11, even though he’d probably be the first to admit that there were very few in that age group.
