Kukich ran 3 miles on the treadmill in 23:58, covered 15 miles on the stationary cycle in 38:20, and swam 500 yards (20 laps) in the pool in 10:11. Her total time of 1:12:29 placed her 22nd overall out of 53 competitors. She was the 5th female finisher overall and would have come in either first or second in all the other female age groups except the 20-29s! She finished more than 20 minutes ahead of the second-place finisher in her age group. Wow.

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.

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.

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.
