Before coming to UD, Pusecker retired from the U.S. Army as a lieutenant colonel after more than 20 years of active duty service.

Pusecker has been a “regular” runner out on Creek Road for the 17 years he’s been on campus, along with small group of UD running companions who had popularized the “Lower Slower” and “Chateau Country” runs that were annual staples back in the day. More recently, he’s taken up bicycling to augment his fitness regimen. He will be missed out on Creek Road.

Coming off an impressive performance in the Delaware Marathon relay earlier in the spring, Creek Road Runners in, shall we say, the “graying” age groups are still doing well in local races.

This was a super time for a trail race, but then Rose has had plenty of practice at the Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area, where the race was held, albeit in much colder weather.
