The "6 Degrees of Jon" Houston M-Day Results
Of course, you'll find the Houston Running Bloggers' results here.
Here's a thought for you: "If the Marathon Committe considers the Half Marathon and 5K as important events, why aren't all of the winners listed in the race program?" Likewise, what about the marathon wheelchair winners?
Former Marathon Winners
(Of course, I don't "know" them; however, I thought you might find the list interesting nonetheless.)
2:12:02 (1st) - David Cheruiyot, 2005
2:19:56 (2nd) - Marek Jaroszewski, 2004
2:32:44 (13th) - Drew Prisner, 2002
2:38:00 (4th, womens) - Albina Gallyamova, 2003
2:42:53 (32nd) - Christopher Ciamarra, 2001
2:58:02 (72nd) - Clent Mericle, 1975, 1977
3:05:17 (116th) - Benji Durden, 1982
(He was bib #2778. Shouldn't former winners get an elite number regardless?)
1:27:41 (19th in half) - Becky Sondag, 2002
Houston Striders
It was the club's largest single day racing contingent in club history -- 66 half marathoners,
85 marathoners (including 20 Boston Qualifiers), and nine (9) 5kers! Caroline Chamness (3:07:19) set the Striders' all-time women's marathon record while Mike Tognarelli (2:57:06) cracked three (3) hours and Jennie Minken qualified for Boston (3:37:54).
Helen Grant was 2nd overall in the 5K in 19:41 while Rachel Guenther was 8th overall in 21:20. In the half marathon, Karen Bowler was first in her 55-59 age group (1:38:02) while Ruben Coryat (1:55:12) and Marcella Paull (1:45:55) were 3rd in their 65-69 and 55-59 age groups, respectively. Coryat has only been running for 6 months and this was only his 3rd career race.
Brett Riley (24th), John Yoder (42nd), Fred Miller (55th), Tommy King (72nd), Mike Tognarelli (82nd) and Ted Traynor (95th) all were in the race's Top 100.
While I can't list the results of 160 Striders, I will list some of those that I've personally gotten to know over the last year and a half:
