Fast Jack 5K - November 11, 2001

A cold and breezy, but otherwise brilliant late Fall day saw a small field of
runners show up on Sunday afternoon, November 11, for the Fast Jack 5K. In
previous years the race had been run on the "4 Hills" course and on a course
thorough College Heights. After a one year hiatus, this year's resurrected
race was moved in time from the Halloween weekend and in locale to the campus
loop. This Fall's overpopulated schedule of local races gave the Fast Jack
organizers stiff competition for runners. The Fast Jack was the third local
race of the weekend. Local running veteran Tom Cali had competed in the
previous day's Run For Freedom 5K and Mike Dooris had already run the Smeal
Business College's 5K run earlier in the day.

Two fast groups toured the course followed by some individual runners. The
trio of Triathlon Club runners consisting of Dennis Koch, Ed Tersine, and
Joshua Corbin blew away the field, taking first through third places,
respectively. Old Fartlek team members Tom Cali, Gerry Glyde, and Marty Mazur
took 4th, 6th and 7th, respectively. The overall women's winner was Jenn
McKee. Even in such a small field, running families were evident. Marty
Mazur's wife Vicky volunteered at the finish line with club timer Dave Eggler.
Old Fartlek Mike Dooris, recovering from his morning race, toured the course
with his son John. And Bellefonte Cross Country Coach Robert Sutherland got
some training in for the Nittany Valley Half Marathon, while Margaret
Sutherland finished second among the women entrants.
