Capt. Ron Zinn Memorial Races

Racers faced wet and windy conditions for the 41st Annual Capt. Ron Zinn Memorial Races, held to honor the 2 time US Olympian in the 20km Walk (1960 & 1964) who lost his life in Vietnam. In the 5km run, Jeff Propert (17:37) and Briana Jackucewicz (18:41) dominated the competition. Brian Hill (19:27) and Adle McDonough (20:58) were second. John Soucheck cruised through the 10km racewalk (and the puddled course) to a 52:22 win over Tom Quattrocchi (1:02:35). In a closer finish, Dorit Attias (1:03:09) prevailed over Shore AC's Panse Geer (1:03:45).

World Racewalk Cup Trials

This past Sunday a contingent of two represented Shore AC at the World Racewalk Cup Trials in Hauppauge, NY. John Soucheck hit the 10km mark in 51:28 before succumbing to the windy conditions and finishing the 20km distance in 1:45:07 for 14th place. John Fredericks met the displeasure of the judges and was disqualified. Kevin Eastler (USAF) won in 1:25:15.

In other weekend action, Rich Leuttchau and Panse Geer were 3000m walk winners at the Osprey Open in 13:59.57 and 17:29.24 respectively. Thanks go to Richard Stockton College for including the walks in their meets.
