HCS Atholton High School 5K

Conducted by Howard County Striders

RacePacket Home The clouds parted for the runners during this warm, humid race. Top runners ran closely for the first mile and a number of fast times were recorded from this elite crew. Bobby Van Allen won by a considerable margin. Julie Thienel won the women's race after running a 23 mile training run the day before. Julie is planning on running the Vermont City marathon in the near future. Tunde Morakinyo, recently returning from the Boston Marathon posted a possible 5K PR at 18:28. New weekly runner, John Jagela, Sr. ran an impressive 18:46. John says he's been a "strider" for a while and thought he'd try out one of the weekly races with his sons, John, Jr. (25:42) and Bobby. Bobby Jagela misjudged the start however and was out warming up when the race started. Steve Zelenak says he had just painted the course 15 minutes before he got there. Who would have thought you could paint on water.

Julie Thienel's time of 19:37 sets a new women's record for this course, beating Pat Keating's 19:52 set in 1999.
