Owning up to my missed called shot on a new event record at Trek. Ivan Marsh won his 12th consecutive (4:43). Sarah Bickerstaff (5:55) led the women. Liz Starbuck learned the importance of having a seeded number.
The Blackstone District Love Run 5K had 75 finishers led by Eric Klein (16:50) and Christy Nielsen (19:45). Put on by IronHawk Endurance just down the street here in Waterloo. Brad Hildebrandt’s venture off to a good start, he’ll be hosting a few road races here this year. Waterloo, the new epicenter of Nebraska Road Racing?
So nice to see Jay Welp (1st- 8:36.40 pr) and Colin Morrissey (2nd- 8:37 pr) and Cory Logsdon (7th- 8:48.29) honing their speed at the Nebraska Tune Up 3K. Personal bests for Jay and Colin. In the 5000 meters Peter Falcon got his own W and new pr in a nice 14:58. Way to work fellas!
USATF Indoor National Champs this past weekend. Of local interest Shelby Houlihan pulled the double winning the 3000 (9:00.08) and 1500 (4:13.07).
Shelby’s mom and dad both raced the 2008 Omaha Mile. Connie Prince-Houlihan beating Bob to the line by a couple of steps. She was age 50 and ran 5:17 on the lightning fast course.
