Local Invited Runner Spots from Today's Space City 10-Miler
Please note that this information is completely unofficial until released and announced by the Elite Athlete Committee of the 2007 Chevron Houston Marathon. (I have an e-mail in requesting the official information as soon as it becomes available.)
As you read in the October edition of HARRA's Footprints in Inside Texas Running, the following runners earned spot from last year's 2006 Houston Marathon:
Male
Drew Prisner (Open)
Bernie Weber (40-49)
Steve Brammer (50-59)
Kenneth Ruane (60-69)
Jim Braden (70-over)
Female
Diana Hirst (Open)
Christie Lammers (40-49)
Carole Uttecht (50-59)
Nancy Prejean (60-69)
Based on information contained on the Local Invited Runner Standards page of the 2007 Houston Marathon's web site, the following runners have potentially earned local invited runner spots:
Male
Cole Dailey (Open, 51:08.2, best time under 58:46)
Terry Garrett (M40, 57:33.9, best time under 1:00:28)
Rich Siemens (M60, 1:10:03.5, best time under 1:11:02)
Female
Susan Walters (F40, 1:06:38.3, best time under 1:10:15)
Donna Sterns (F50, 1:13:52.1, best time under 1:16:33)
All but Dailey are HARRA members, according to the 9/18/06 update on the organization's web site.
For the men's 50-59 division, the standard was 1:05:09 and the closest runner was the Houston Striders' Ted Traynor, who ran 1:06:53.3 today.
For the women's 60-69 and 70+ divisions, there were finishers; however, none of the finishers were significantly close to the standars.
In the women's open division, only four (4) runners met the time standard of 1:07:39. They were Jody Hawkins (1:01:05.4), Sarah Yoder (1:04:51.5), Susan Walters (1:06:38.3) and Olya Perevalova (1:07:33). However, I understand from my sources that Hawkins and Walters - both over 40 - would not qualify in the Open Division.
Since the results don't list the city and state of the runner, it is hard to officially tell where Yoder and Perevalova are from. Yoder ran track and cross country for Rice University, but calls Helotes, Texas home (from the Rice University athletic web site). The only reference on the Internet to Perevalova is a third place finish at the 2003 Pacific Crest Marathon and she is listed then as being from Nashville, Tennessee.
