The 2002 fifth place finisher (14:42), David Kipngetich (Kenya) has been back in the United States for two days after three months in Kenya. He was ready to make a bid for the top spot and the $500 bonus to the fastest runner under 14:12. Kipngetich was facing off against Joseph Mwai of Kenya who in the last two months set two records, George Sheehan Classic 5-Miler in Red Bank, NJ, in a time of 23:09 and at the CIGNA HealthCare Corporate 5K Road Race in New Hampshire where the record fell to 13:55. Mohammed Amyn of Morocco at the IAAF Golden League meets in Paris ran 13:03.80 and 13:25.34 for 5000 meters in July.
The defending women's champion and record holder (16:36) Martha Komu of Kenya did not return but teammate and runner up (17:03). Hannah Njeri was going to make a bid for the top spot. The challenger, Irina Suvorova of Russia was making her debut at PVI Runfest. The defending master's holder (19:31), Laura Freix of Team Pacers set the record last year and she was going to be challenged by Maria Spinnler of the Cumberland Valley Athletic Club (Hagerstown). A new record carried a bonus of $200.
The two loop course had one slight hill after the one mile mark and there were several minor turns along the two loop course. The temperature was ideal with low humidity and the wind was not a factor.
Off the line it took less than a half mile for the lead pack to form, Mwai, Kipngetich, Amyn and Mohammed Ar-Ar. The four held and half mile lead over the trailing pack. The pack passed the first mile in 4:32. The lead master, in fifth place was Dave Berardi of Baltimore who was the second master last year (16:14).
Njeri had her plan in force from the start and was pushing the pace solo going through the first mile. Trailing in a close second was Suvorova followed by Spinnler and Maria Kozloski of the Washington Running Club. Freix was holding down sixth place.
The leading pack went through the second mile in 9:04 as Amyn and Kipngetich took control and broke off from the others. The pace was well under the record time and going into the second loop it was anyone's race to claim. The two crossed the three mile mark together and it was down to the kick as Aymn was the victor in 13:54 to 13:55. Pending verification the 13:54 may be the fastest 5K time in the state of Virginia. Mwai had dropped back to third and finished in 14:12 and Ar-Ar was fourth in 14:41.
Njeri fell short of her bid to set a new record and took the win in 17:04 the same time from last year. Suvorova was holding second place up until the second mile when Spinnler had chased her down and took control. There was a price for the effort, Suvorova was not finished and had something left and made a move which Spinnler could not cover and she regained second place and took second place in 18:19. Spinnler held in for third place in 18:22 to collect the $200 bonus for the master's record. Kozloski was fourth in 18:35 followed by Freix in 19:00 and she was awarded the money for first master position.
The top male master was Berardi in 16:26 (5th place) followed by Tim Marshall in 17:03 (7th place). Ted Poulos of McLean, Va., was third in 17:53.
“This is always a good community event. I could not train like I wanted because I was in Iraq. This is an international race. I felt good the whole way and I should have started my sprint earlier”, stated Congressman Tom Davis of Virginia.
