200 KIDS, 150 ADULTS ENJOY 1ST TRACK MEET OF 1998 INDOOOR SEASON

More than 200 kids and 150 adults enjoyed the first of three 1998 winter indoor track meets conducted by D.C. Road Runners Club (DCRRC) and Potomac Valley Track Club (PVTC) at Arlington's Thomas Jefferson Community Center.

Daniel Chen of Falls Church VA led the charge in the Elite Men's Mile, winning in 4:52. Colorado College All-American hurdler Sascha Scott, now of Wasington DC, moved up to the mile, winning strongly in 5:46. Navy Captain Paul Ryan, 47, almost three times Chen's age, ran a fast masters mile to win in 4:54. Michael Young of Chevy Chase MD and Michael Creed of Fairfax VA duked it out in the Kids Mile, finishing in 6:04 and 6:10. Matt Dean of Clinton MD, doubling after a 4:58 mile, won the 3000-meter in 9:42, a scant one second ahead of Terry McLaughlin of Spotsylvania VA. Meet director Jay Jacob Wind of Arlington VA celebrated his birthday (48 years young on Monday) by running five events and finishing first among the masters runners in the 3000-meter in 10:07.

In the 3000-meter racewalk, Warrick Yeager of Alexandria VA won in 13:52.5, with Steve Pecinovsky of Fairfax Station VA second in 14:18.7. Samantha Cohen came all the way from Westchester NY to finish first among women in 14:32.9.

The next two meets in the three-meet series will be Sundays, January 25 and February 8. The meets start at 8:30 a.m. and feature racewalks of 800 meters for kids and 3000 meters for adults, followed by runs of 55 meters, one mile, 400 meters, 800 meters, 200 meters, and 3000 meters. The meets are directed by DCRRC and PVTC in co-operation with Arlington County Department of Parks, Recreation, and Community Resources and sponsored by Racquet and Jog, Runners World Magazine, American Direct Optek Sunglasses, and Balance Bars. Every finisher gets a ribbon, courtesy of PVTC.

Official starter for the meet was newly-elected Arlington County Board Member Barbara Favola. Volunteers included Ted Baca, Tim Baker, Fiona Branton, Carla Convery, Sal Corrallo, Larry Dickerson, Kelly Dubose, Kate D'Angelis, Rolland Elliott, Sharon Good, Ed Grant, Terry Hamilton, John Haubert, Tammy Huck, Yonco Mermersky, Jane Metzler, Alfred and Gita Morris, Robert Premo, Don Riggs, James Scarborough, Sascha Scott, Clay Warner, Phil Williams, Mil Wood, and meet director Jay Jacob Wind.
