2007 - 2nd Alumni Run brings back MVXC grads from many years!
Nearly 50 alumni, current team members coaches and parents toe the line for the second annual Alumni Race! Great racing up front, and throughout the pack make for a memorable day. Of course, the socializing before and after was what most current and former teammates enjoyed the most! Oldest almuni award goes to Chris Leavell from the class of 1988, who showed everyone that he's got some strong racing years left by taking a close 4th place overall. Jamie McCormick brings home the "Enjoying the Course" award by completing the 2 mile event - smiling all the way!
On the boys side, pre-race smack talk could be heard amongst some of the current and former team, as a predicted close race certainly materialized. Current team member Harry Nunns led coming out of the hills, and withstood a furious kick by his brother Geoff Nunns (currently running for Johns Hopkins) to take first overall in a record time. As a note - brother Peter Nunns finishes 10th overall (5th man for the almuni) completing a banner day for the Nunns household! Dustin Harris from the current team, the leader at the mile mark, finishes a strong 3rd, followed by Leavell in 4th. However, the current team slams the door shut with Clinton McAdams (5th), Mike Roderick (6th) and Cameron Tremblay-Adams (7th) taking the next three spots. John Geilholfe and John Berhing round out the alumni scoring.
On the womens side, a 1-2-3 sweep by the alumni, coupled with a full scoring team this year, avenged last years loss to the current team. But it as really close. Brittany Rezowalli (currently running for LMU) repeates as the womens overall winner. Current MV Track & Field record holders Susan Chan (1600/3200 meters) and Elizabeth Combs (300 Intermediate Hurdles) take the next two spots respectively. Alex D'Souza and Kim Chin were 4th and 5th, putting pressure on the the top runners. However, with Nicole Krampf and Jamie Callahan rounding out the scoring, the alumni had their narrow victory insured! Completing the current team scoring were: Anna Hoyt (6th), Katie Swinnerton (7th) and Lauren Ho (8th).
Congrats to parents Jeff Berhing, Scott Camp and to Coach Martha Breen for racing the course as well.
All participants agreed that this is a worthy event to keep holding, so plans for round three will be made soon. Great job to all who raced, including several of the incoming freshman who lined up to challenge the Eliminator for the first time!
