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

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.

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.

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.”

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.
