Huntsville Half/5K Entries 10% Ahead
Seven Hills Running Club president and Huntsville Half Marathon/5K race director Ken Johnson reports that race entries for this Saturday's event are up 11% over a year ago.
2-time defending 5K champion Alyssa Crocker, who was on the winning HARRA cross country relay team and won her age group Sunday at the USA 10-Miler (1:15:06), will be back as will 4-time men's 5K winner Carlo Deason of Houston. Deason, who was 4th in his age group on Sunday with a time of 1:03:11 and less than two seconds ahead of Doug Schroeder, won the Huntsville 5K in 1999, 2000, 2003 and 2004.
2004 5K masters winner Robert Duncan of Huntsville and last year's 5K women's masters winner Peggy Lobato are the early favorites from registrants to date.
In the half marathon, as of Saturday, it appears that there will be no defending champions in 2006. Two-time defending titlist Clint Sherrouse, who finished third in his age group with a time of 1:01:33 on Sunday at the USA 10-Miler, has not yet registered.
The master's favorites in the half marathon appear to be Kingwood's Bill Schroeder and Houston's Suzy Seeley. Schroeder won the event outright in 2002, was the masters winner in 2003 and 2004 and was the top male masters in the 5K last year.
Making the trip in from Seguin, Texas will be Robert and Juanita Espinosa, who completed the "Love The Half Texas Challenge" in 2005 and 2006.
