This was a race to remember! It rained hard all Friday night and by morning the winds were blowing out of the east at 40 to 50 mph. Jill Evarts and I marked the Thompson course late Friday afternoon. At that time it was 56 degrees and partly cloudy. Just as I placed the last flag it started to rain and I knew it was going to be worse on Saturday morning. Mike Tully met me at 7:30 am at Marlu lake with a large canopy tent. Our plan was to set it up and have a dry area for the officials and a place to hand out the pies and food after the race. However, the wind was blowing so hard we could not put it up. We then decided to face our van and SUV into the wind, lift our tailgate doors, and stretch a tarp over both vehicles. This actually worked well and, by the time the first runners arrived to sign up, we had a relatively dry refuge. I was worried that no one would show but my faith was restored when 73 hardy harriers toed the starting line. This group included the Red Bank Regional HS girls (and their coach – Terra Sarnacki). Earlier in the morning the Shore Conference XC Meet had been postponed due to severe conditions but here were these intrepid young women showing the toughness it takes to run cross country. If it were up to me I’d give them the Shore Conference Trophy.

Cross country runners are unlike most athletes. They actually savor foul conditions.
I heard a lot of laughter and cries of “All Right!” as we sloshed through the mud and slop formed by the torrential rain. After the race everyone seemed in great spirits as we huddled under our make-shift shelter sipping cider and eating donuts. No one seemed to mind that official times were not taken (our automatic timer does not like getting wet). Those who wanted to timed themselves. The leaders in the various age groups were awarded pies and packages of Delicious Orchards cookies. The Hoboken Harriers apparently didn’t get wet enough so they headed back out on the course to retrieve the flags.
I can recall only one other time in league history when the weather conditions rivaled what we had today. It was almost exactly ten years ago (Oct. 19, 1996). The race was held at Huber Woods. My notes on the results sheet for that day read, “Weather conditions – torrential rain – 55- 60 degrees; Course condition – flooded”. I remember running the wooded trail in ankle deep water and feeling like I was breathing water rather than air. The finish line was set up in the wooden lean-to shed on the edge of the parking area so that our officials ( Colleen York and Lisa Bazley) could stay dry. The most lasting image of that day, however, was watching Cliff Russell of the Sandy Hookers riding his mountain bike across the Oceanic Bridge and up the long hill to Huber Woods before the race. He went on to finish in 5th place and cooled down by riding his bike home.

The final race of our series will be this Saturday (Nov. 4) at Tatum Park, Middletown.
Please park in the Holland Road lot. We will use the old start in the fields in front of the parking lot. Individual season awards and the Woodland Elf team trophy will be given out after the race. See you all on Saturday.

Saturday’s race at Holmdel Park brought out 133 runners which was a record turnout for the 26 year history of this series. Tim Ensign of Green’s Pond came all the way from Chattanooga, Tennessee and was the winner in 17:10 over Wilson Martinez of the Sandy Hookers. Tim was a dominant runner in the league during the 1990’s and still looks very fit.
Jill Evarts of Green’s Pond won a close race over Terra Sarnacki in a very good 19:50. Terra was clocked in 19:56 also an excellent time for this challenging course.
I sat out this race and worked at the finish line recording results. I’m always amazed when I see the expressions on the faces of the runners as they approach the finish. The looks of agony and strain really convey the effort required to complete the Holmdel Park course. You can all be proud of yourselves for finishing this one.
The team race was won by Green’s Pond. They were led by first places in the men’s and women’s races. This was followed up by very strong finishes by Adele McDonough and Jen Beck and by Masters Mike Tully and Peter Avakian.
Bonus points won by Merrell Noden, Ed Smith, and Pete Evarts secured the win over the Sandy Hookers.

Saturday Oct. 28 is our annual Halloween Race run at Thompson Park. This is “the run for the pies” (pies to winners of age groups). There will be other prizes



and food for all. We will be using a new start for this race to accommodate our larger field of runners. Please park in the activity center lot and sign in at Marlu lake. See you all on Saturday.

Saturday’s race was the second year the league has run at Wolf Hill Recreation Area. However, this venue has been used over the years for cross country racing by Long Branch and Shore Regional High Schools. Monmouth University runners train there regularly also. It is a gem of a park hidden away next to Monmouth Race Track in Oceanport, NJ and is surprisingly challenging. The two lap course with four hay bale jumps is similar to the courses run in Europe during their winter XC season.

Seth Holland of Hoboken was an easy winner over Jay McGovern of the Shore AC.
Seth’s time of 20:18 was excellent for the rolling 3.7 mile route. Adele McDonough of the Green’s Pond Harriers led the women’s race in 24:53, seven seconds ahead of Catherine Satzke of Sandy Hook.

Hoboken Harriers won the team race today ahead of Shore AC. We have had three different teams win in the first three races. The battle for the Woodland Elf Trophy is very close and will probably come down to the final race on Nov. 4.

Our next race is Saturday Oct 21 at Holmdel Park. We will be running over the 5k high school course. See you all on Saturday morning.

Today’s race was run over a modified Tatum Park course due to downed trees from a recent storm. The course itself has been changed 3 or 4 times over the past 20 years but the trail leading up through the woods to Red Hill Road has been a constant feature in all of the variations. Recently the Park system fenced off this section and we felt it would be too dangerous to include it in the race. The service road hill leading to the top of the course was a challenge and certainly made up for the deleted uphill climb through the woods.

Andrew Hanko celebrated his 18th birthday by winning his second race in a row beating Lawrence Schau of Monmouth University by 6 seconds. The cool, overcast weather didn’t discourage anyone from running as we had another large field of runners for the second week in a row (119 finishers). The team scores were very close again with Monmouth University edging a resurging Green’s Pond Harrier team by 4 points.
The Hawk Harriers dominated the open men’s competition but Green’s Pond had the superior women this time. Jill Evarts, Adele McDonough, and Jen Beck all turned in sterling performances.

Finally, congratulations to all who ran and finished this challenging course.
Great job! Next week’s race (10/14) is at Wolf Hill Recreation Area, Oceanport. Please park in the parking lot off Crescent Place. Hope to see you all there.

Congratulations to everyone who ran on Saturday morning at Thompson Park. We had a perfect morning for cross country racing, sunny and 65 degrees F. The start and finish were modified due to the new pavement over the bridge area but we are working on a new start and finish area in cooperation with the park officials that will make the Thompson course the best in the area.

Seventeen year old Andrew Hanko, of Trinity Christian HS in Montvale, NJ, showed the older men and women that there is no substitute for youth. He easily defeated a very good field and looked pretty fresh at the finish line. I spoke with Andrew and his father before the race and pointed out the course to them. Andrew ran the entire course easily as a warmup, ran the race in a quick 15:35, then ran the course again for a cool down! His school does not have a cross country team so he runs in open meets and has played soccer in the past. He’s hoping to continue his running in college at the U.S. Naval Academy, University of Pennsylvania, or Villanova. All of these schools have great running traditions and I think Andrew will be a welcome addition to anyone of them.
Them team race was one of the closest in my memory. The Sandy Hookers re-emerged as a power to be reckoned with as they narrowly beat the Shore AC by 3 points. Five points behind SAC was the Jersey Shore RC and Hoboken Harriers only 2 ponts behind JSRC. Every place counts in cross country racing and team races can be won or lost by just one runner passing another at the finish line.
Tatum Park is next up on our schedule (Sat. 10/7). Remember to park in the lot at the Holland Road activity center entrance. See you all Saturday morning.
