WalkSports.com File Updates
As most of you know from reading this blog over the past year is my love for crunching numbers, documenting history and compiling statistics. That love has moved from private and parochial high school athletics, which didn't have a strong documented history, to Houston-area road racing.
I've added a couple of files, in web page form, of some things that you've seen mentioned here. The updates are as follows:
All-Time Houston Marathon Warm-Up Series Winners
'05 Sunmart / Houstonian Lite 30K Double
'05 Sunmart / White Rock Marathon Double
'04 Greater Houston Double -- Texas Marathon and Houston Marathon
65 completed the last feat in 2004. 50 did earlier this year.
Some additional Warm-Up Series notes:
+ Sean Wade and Luis Armenteros have won nine (9) of the last 12 Warm-Up Series races.
+ Armenteros became the first to win the 20K and the 30K in the same year since 1992 when Jon Warren swept the Warm-Up Series. The only other male overall runner to do that was David Washburn in 1988.
+ Likewise, Francisco Perez was the first male masters runners since 1998 when Bernie Weber won both the 20K and 30K masters title. Weber won this year's 25K masters crown.
+ 12 different female runners have won the overall titles the last four (4) years of Warm-Up Series races. The last female runner to win more than one (1) Warm-Up Series race in a year was Jackie Rzepecki in 2001 when she captured the 20K and the 25K.
Speaking of the Warm-Up Series, the oldest shirts that I saw on Sunday while running in Memorial Park were from the 1997 HMSA Classical 25K and one of the Gallery Furniture 20Ks from 1994 to 1996.

Jon,
You may have seen older shirts - the 1992 20k shirt is still popular as the run was completely morbid - in general, the older they are the less recognizable as Marathon Warmup Series shirts they are.
Steeeve
Has there been any information on who reached Local-Invited Runner Status from the 30K?
It isn't on the HARRA web site; however, I'm working on it as you posted the comment.
Almost as if: "Ask and ye shall receive."
Jon
