Magness runs well at USATF National Club XC Championship
Former Klein Oak HS and Rice Owl track star Steve Magness competed last Saturday (December 9th) at the USATF National Club Cross Country Championships in San Francisco, California's Golden Gate Park.
Competing as an open runner, Magness finished 29th overall on the 10K course in a time of 31:22 (a pace of 5:02 per mile). He was the 4th fastest open - or unattached - runner in the Men's Open race.
Austin's Rogue Running sent two teams to the Bay Area - one in the Women's Open Division and another in the Women's 45-49 Masters Division.
Led by 37-year-old Chris Kimbrough, who finished the 6-kilometer course in 21:29, the Rogue Running team was 18th in a field of 28 teams. Kimbrough was 26th overall while teammates Carmen Ayala-Troncoso, 47, and Cassandra Henkiel, 36, covered the distance in 21:59 and 22:27, respectively in 52nd and 88th places.
Rogue's Masters Division team was 9th of 12 teams and was led by Donna Moore and Deb Hilton, who finished in 25:15 and 25:56, respectively.
College Station's Marcella Paull, 56, was fifth in her 55-59 age division with a time of 29:26. (I'll take an assist on this result.)
Some interesting names appeared in the Men's Masters race:
+ 15th in the 40-44 division was a competitor of Sean Wade's, 41-year-old Paul Aufdemberge of Redford, Michigan, finishing in 34:01.
+ 33rd in 35:21 was 41-year-old Keefer Whan of Mount Vernon, Washington. He would be northwest Washington's Sean Wade, if you will.
+ 45th was one of the more talented "running husbands", 41-year-old Boulder, CO resident, Darren De Reuck. He finished in 35:54. (Colleen did not compete.)
+ 9th in the 50-54 division was 52-year-old John Wellerding of Louisville, Kentucky, who finished 4th at the 1984 Houston-Tenneco Marathon. Wellerding, running for the Derby City Ahtletic Club, ran the course in 36:25, but his club was unable to defend its 2005 title. (John is a subject of my Runner Triathlete News column in December.)
+ 11th in the 60-64 division was Runner's World editor, Amby Burfoot. Hailing now from Emmaus, Pennsylvania and running on the Raritan Valley Road Runners division-winning team, the 61-year-old former Boston Marathon winner ran the 10K course in 41 minutes, 45 seconds.
