Sunday's Chronicle Letter to the Editor
Subject: Houston's Wade wins Masters 10K at Crescent City Classic

The four paragraphs in today's Chronicle (on page C1, Around Sports) about New Orleans' Crescent City Classic yesterday, one of the top 10K races in the country each year, was nice in an effort to ensure that the Chronicle touches all of the sports.
However, you missed the boat in failing to see that Houston's Sean Wade won the Masters (40-and-over) competition -- something that he has done regularly this spring after turning 40 in early February.
When he hasn't finished first at places such as the Carlsbad 5000, the Azalea Trail Run 10K and the Cooper Bridge Run, he has taken second.
The running community wouldn't ask you to simply cover a Houstonian for the sake of local coverage; however, Sean is the best this city has to offer and he is doing well on the national stage, which includes some Kenyans in these races that are training here in the States.
Thanks for listening,
Jon Walk

He was also first American.
Excellent point. You have the e-mail address for the next letter to the editor!
The local media misses it and you don't. That is what makes you such an asset to our running community.
Thanks for all you do
you da man.
